Fast and easy: these are the key elements people look for in a website-building platform. Knowing how to code is no longer necessary to create a site, but the existing solutions for first-time online business owners leave much to be desired. 

WordPress has been a key player in the low-code web development movement. It isn’t the easiest to use, though, especially for beginners who need a website quickly.

We’re excited to announce that we’ve introduced Zyro into the Hostinger ecosystem and renamed it the Hostinger Website Builder. It’s beginner-friendly – perfect for anyone with minimal technical experience who wants to bring their website to life.  

Building a Website Has Never Been This Simple

We’re glad we started the customer interview initiative – it has allowed us to get to know our clients a little better:

• A website is important for establishing a professional online presence, but many users don’t have the skills to make one. Moreover, few want to invest time and effort in learning web development. 
• Platforms like WordPress have a learning curve to overcome. You have to get familiar with hosting, themes, plugins, and even some code. It’s more complex than it seems.
• Hiring a web developer is always an option, but it’s a considerable investment for small business owners. 
• Some clients who have already launched a site are still figuring out what to do next. They need guidance on optimization to obtain more traffic and make money. 

Those are some of the reasons we decided to introduce Hostinger Website Builder – an all-in-one solution for anyone looking to make a website quickly and easily. 

Here are three reasons to get excited about our website builder:

• No technical or design skills required. Sign up, choose a template, get creative with the editor, and publish the website in no time. All coding-free.
• Tools to launch your business and take your website to the next level. Leverage our AI features to design your brand identity and improve your site’s user experience. 
• It’s included in our hosting plans for free. If you’re a Hostinger client, the website builder is always available for you to check out.

What Will You Get With the Hostinger Website Builder?

Top 10 Product Highlights of the Year 

From a website builder to advanced security measures, explore our top releases and updates in 2022.

1. Hostinger Website Builder

Whether creating a blog, online portfolio, or business site, Hostinger Website Builder offers a one-stop solution for your virtual needs.

For example, it’s got everything you need to build a profitable eCommerce store. With its quick setup, inventory management, and various payment options, selling products online has never been easier.

You don’t need coding or design skills to get started – our website builder’s friendly user interface, drag-and-drop editor, and rich library of designer-made templates simplify the website creation process.

Whichever type of site you’re planning to make, crafting high-quality content is a must. If you struggle with words, the ever-reliable AI Writer tool generates unique copy for your website. 

There is also an AI Heatmap tool showing which areas of your pages resonate with visitors the most, helping you improve user experience.  

2. AI Logo Maker

A well-designed logo is crucial for your online success. It instantly catches the audience’s attention, helping your brand become more memorable.

By using Hostinger’s free AI Logo Maker, you can save thousands of dollars on professional design services.  Simply enter your brand name, add a few details, and the tool will provide you with plenty of customizable logo templates.

Alternatively, use our AI Logo Generator to create a unique symbol in three easy steps – pick a starter logo, choose a suitable color, and select your desired shape.  

3. Automated Malware Scanner

Hackers use malware for various purposes, such as making a site unresponsive, stealing user data, or redirecting a domain address to illegal websites.

To prevent this, we have integrated Hostinger’s Malware Scanner into hPanel. It will automatically scan and remove malicious files, keeping your website secure.

4. Industry-Standard WordPress Staging Environment

When modifying a WordPress site, it’s important to test everything before going live. Failing to do so can lead to site crashes and data loss.

That’s where the WordPress staging feature comes in – it offers a safe environment for functionality testing and bug discovery. If an error occurs, your live website will not be affected.

For David Shaw, a senior web designer at Creative Graphics UK, the WordPress staging tool is indispensable.

This feature is available with our Business, Cloud, WordPress Business, and WordPress Pro hosting plans.

5. Automatic WHOIS Privacy Protection 

When registering a domain name, your personal information is made publicly available in the WHOIS database. This might result in unwanted spam emails, sales calls, or, even worse, cyber attacks.

At Hostinger, every domain purchase comes with free WHOIS privacy protection, keeping your sensitive data hidden from the public eye. You don’t have to set up anything, as the feature automatically applies to all users. 

However, note that some domain extensions don’t support WHOIS protection due to restrictions placed by their registry. For the complete list, check out our WHOIS privacy protection article.   

6. New File Manager

For beginners, organizing website files can be frustrating and often time-consuming. To make everyone’s lives easier, we’ve released an updated version of File Manager.

According to Shreyash Pandey, the CEO of Ethereal Corporate Network, the new File Manager is “quite faster and easier compared to the previous one.”

Accessible through hPanel, this tool allows you to create, import, edit, move, and delete documents with ease. It also informs you which files are taking up space and causing poor website performance.

7. Automated WordPress Migration

If you want to migrate your existing website to Hostinger, the process is extremely straightforward. Simply access hPanel and provide your WordPress admin URL, login credentials, and previous web host.

After that, submit the request, and our team will take care of the rest. Note that transferring your website to Hostinger can take up to two business days.

Here’s what one Trustpilot reviewer had to say about their migration experience:

8. Vulnerable Plugin Detector

With its reputation as the most popular content management system (CMS), you’d probably think that all the plugins in the WordPress directory are safe. The truth is some plugins – the outdated ones in particular – are vulnerable to security threats. 

Security is our top priority. We’ve partnered with Patchstack to offer the Vulnerable Plugin Detector. It regularly checks your installed plugins and looks for WordPress security loopholes. Once an issue has been discovered, you can update, deactivate, or remove the unsecured plugin directly via hPanel. 

9. Advanced Spam & Virus Protection

In addition to other security measures, our premium hosting plans are equipped with advanced spam and virus protection to ensure a safe online environment.

Powered by machine learning and real-time data updates, it protects you against 99.9% of threats other antivirus software can’t detect, including spam, viruses, phishing, malware, and other forms of cyber attacks.  

Chris W. Balmer of CWB Consultancy has experienced the benefits firsthand. “After migrating to Hostinger, some of my clients even said they’ve seen at least a 50% reduction in their spam emails.”

10. Plan Boost

Do you want to get your hands on a higher-tier plan before buying it? We’ve got you covered. The new Plan Boost feature improves your hosting resources for a full day, allowing your website to better handle marketing campaigns and traffic spikes.

And if you like the real-time demonstration, you can upgrade your hosting plan directly via hPanel.
