Why Choose Hostinger?
Building a website on your own is a big deal and it may seem a bit daunting if you’ve never done it before. I know because I was once one of those people who didn’t know the first thing about how to create a website. All I knew was that I needed a website, and I couldn’t afford to pay a web developer to create one for me, so I had to learn to do it myself.
Back then, I was able to find a web host that offered an easy solution – a website builder. Once you had an account, all you had to do was open the builder, and then drag and drop all the elements you needed into the builder. That’s when I discovered how easy creating a website can be.
And that’s exactly how I feel about Hostinger hosting and its website creation tools. When I wanted to build a new website, I discovered that Hostinger offers an easy-to-use website builder, and it uses AI to make website creation a snap. After seeing that, I was ready to create an account and get started.
Simple Control Panel
The control panel is where all the fun happens. All the elements are easy to understand, and you’ll be ready to build your site after learning where everything is and trying out various elements.
Speedy AI Site Creation
If you’re looking for the easiest way to build your own website or blog, and don’t want to bother with “technical stuff”, Hostinger is for you. All you have to do is enter some simple information about what kind of site you want, click a button to activate the builder and it produces a professional-looking website for you. It even includes some initial content, but you should customize all content to make it unique.
Other Web Builder Themes
Be aware that the AI produces a site that is suitable for a small business but it’s not suitable for an affiliate site. So, I recommend exploring all the various website/blog theme templates Hostinger offers, selecting the one you like best, and then switching to that theme. If you want to create everything from scratch, choose a blank theme, and add elements as you go.
You can choose to create a website only with or without a blog or choose a blog template. If this is your first-ever site, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how quickly you can create a site that looks great.
GetResponse Integration
If you choose to use the web builder and want to add a GetResponse autoresponder or newsletter signup form to your site, please be aware that GetResponse requires you to add a special code to the header of your site. The instructions for accessing the header section is here:
I wasn't able to get this to work. So, I created a workaround by creating a landing page on GetResponse and connecting it using a link to the landing page.
Create a WordPress Site
I personally don’t use WordPress but if you want to create a site using this popular site-building platform, you can easily do that with your Hostinger hosting plan. Simply select the WordPress option at the beginning of the process. They offer a one-click WordPress install process that uploads whatever WordPress template you want to use.
