🌐 How to Deploy a Website on Hostinger (Step-by-Step Guide)
📌 Introduction: Website deployment means making your website live on the internet so everyone can see it. Hostinger is a great platform for this because it is fast, affordable, and very easy to use for beginners.
🧠 What You Need:
- Domain name (e.g., yourname.com)
- Hostinger hosting account
- Website files (HTML, CSS, JS, PHP)
1 1️⃣ Login to Hostinger
Go to the official Hostinger website and click on the login button. Enter your email and password to access your hosting dashboard.
2 2️⃣ Open hPanel / File Manager
Once logged in, find your hosting plan and click "Manage". Look for the File Manager icon. Inside the File Manager, open the public_html folder. This is where all your website files must go.
3 3️⃣ Upload Website Files
Click the upload button and select your HTML, CSS, and JS files. If you have PHP files, upload them too. If your files are in a ZIP folder, upload the ZIP and then use the "Extract" option inside Hostinger.
4 4️⃣ Set Main File
Make sure your main homepage file is named index.html or index.php. This is the first file Hostinger looks for when someone visits your domain.
5 5️⃣ Check PHP Support
Hostinger supports PHP by default on all their hosting plans. You don't need any extra setup to run your PHP scripts. Just upload and they will work!
6 6️⃣ Connect Domain
Ensure your domain is correctly linked to your Hostinger account. If you bought the domain elsewhere, you may need to wait for DNS propagation (usually takes a few hours).
7 7️⃣ Open Your Website
Now, open a new tab in your browser and enter your domain name. If everything was done correctly, your website should be live and visible to the world!
💡 Quick Tips
- • Use correct file names (lowercase)
- • Keep all files inside public_html
- • Test your website locally before uploading
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- • Not loading: Check if index file exists.
- • CSS/JS broken: Check file paths.
- • Wrong path: Files must be in public_html.
- • Missing file: Ensure all assets are uploaded.
