You describe the change in plain language, for example &ldquo;Create a maintenance page for my website&rdquo;, and Hostinger Agent asks you to confirm before it changes anything. Changes made by Hostinger Agent go live on your website right away.<\/p><h3>Before you start<\/h3><ul>\n<li>You need a website on a web or cloud hosting plan.<\/li>\n<li>Managing files works in a regular Hostinger Agent chat, without selecting a skill.
