Build a Full Website Fast With
Hostinger’s AI Builder
(A Step-by-Step Look)

If “make a website” is on your to-do list and you’re not trying to turn it into a whole new hobby, an AI builder can be a solid shortcut. The flow here is pretty simple: pick a plan, answer a few questions, describe what you want, and let the AI generate a first draft you can tweak. This post walks through what that process actually looks like—from signup to going live—plus the extra bits people forget (mobile layout, SEO, domain setup, and email).

The first thing to know: Hostinger is set up to get you from “blank screen” to “decent-looking website” quickly, as long as you’re willing to do a little editing after the AI does its part.

Sign up and pick a plan

Once you land on the plan page, you’ll usually see two options: Premium and Business.

Premium vs Business (what matters)

You can get by with Premium, especially for a basic site. But Business is the one that unlocks more of the AI features—so if you want the full “AI helper” experience, it’s the better fit.

Business typically includes tools like:

• AI image generator
• AI writer
• AI blog generator
• AI SEO tools

You’ll also choose your subscription length. Longer terms often reduce the monthly cost, and a 12-month plan can still include a free domain for one year, depending on the current offer.

Create your website with the AI builder

After you create an account and check out, the builder asks a few quick setup questions (personal vs business, what you want to build, etc.). Then you choose the website builder and start with a temporary domain if you want. (You can connect your real domain later.)

The AI build step

This is the core moment: you enter a brand name and a description of your site, and the AI generates a full draft.

A good description usually includes:

• What the business/site is about
• The vibe (clean, modern, playful, etc.)
• A few pages you want (Home, About, Services, Contact, etc.)
• Optional: preferred fonts or style notes

Once the AI generates your site, you can preview it, scroll through the sections, check the page list, and switch between desktop and mobile views. If it’s not quite right, you can regenerate—plus there’s version history so you can revert to earlier drafts.

Customize the design without getting lost

Once you click into the editor, everything is organized in a way that makes sense:

• Pages are made of sections
• Sections contain elements (text, buttons, images, etc.)

Editing basics (text, buttons, images)

You’re mostly clicking something and choosing “Edit.”

• Text: click → edit text → type and format
• Buttons: click → edit button → change text + link destination
• Images: click → replace image → upload or pick from the library

You can also drag elements into place, and alignment guides pop up so your layout doesn’t drift into chaos.

Helpful small details:

• Adjust section height by dragging the bottom edge
• Delete elements with the trash icon
• Undo/redo is always available (thank you)

Use the AI tools while you edit

This is where the builder gets genuinely useful. Instead of only generating the initial site, AI shows up inside the editor.

Examples you’ll likely use:

• AI Writer for rewriting or changing tone of text
• Image generation for creating visuals when you don’t have photos ready
• Background updates (image/video) with quick controls like opacity

The AI image tool usually generates a couple options at a time, and you can regenerate if none fit.

Check the mobile layout (don’t skip this)

There’s a mobile preview mode where you can adjust spacing and alignment specifically for smaller screens. The nice part: mobile edits only affect mobile, so you won’t wreck your desktop design while fixing a cramped section.

Once it looks good, hit save—though autosave is doing a lot of the work in the background.

Header, footer, and pages: get the structure right

Your header and footer show on every page, so it’s worth setting them up properly:

• Sticky header on/off
• Logo, social icons, optional header button
• Spacing and background styling

Then in Pages, you can:

• Rearrange navigation links
• Hide pages from navigation (still accessible, just not in the menu)
• Rename pages, change URLs, duplicate pages
• Generate a new page with AI (often faster than building from scratch)

SEO, domain, and going live

The built-in SEO assistant helps you fill out:

• Page titles
• Meta descriptions
• Keywords
• Basic recommendations and previews

Then you can connect a custom domain (often with a free year included), verify your email within 14 days, and hit Go Live. Domain setup can take time, but sometimes it’s ready much faster than expected.

Bonus: set up a professional email address

Inside the dashboard, you can create an email address tied to your domain (like info@yourdomain.com). There’s usually a free option and a low-cost upgrade with more storage and features.

Bottom line

If you want a site up fast—and you’d rather edit a draft than build from nothing—this AI builder workflow is a pretty painless way to do it. The AI gets you started, the editor keeps things simple, and the extras (SEO, domain, email) are built into the same system.

AI makes website creation a breeze!
