About Wix to Hostinger Export
Hostinger's whole pitch is price. $3/month hosting sounds great after paying Wix's $17-159. But cheap comes with tradeoffs. Know what you're getting into.
Their website builder exists. It's not Wix. It's not trying to be. Basic templates, basic customization, basic features. Enough for a simple business site. Not enough for anything creative.
Migration process, no surprises here:
Export your Wix site first. HTML export gives you pages, images, all your content in organized files. You'll reference this constantly while rebuilding.
Sign up for Hostinger. They push longer commitments for better prices. The $3/month rate requires 4-year prepayment. Monthly billing is closer to $10. Read the fine print.
Pick a template. Limited selection compared to Wix. Find something workable and accept you're not getting pixel-perfect recreation of your Wix design.
Rebuild your pages. Copy text from your HTML export, upload images from your assets folder. Hostinger's editor is drag-and-drop but constrained. Some layouts from Wix simply won't translate.
Connect your domain. Transfer it to Hostinger or point your existing domain's DNS to their servers. Standard stuff.
What works: basic pages, images, text content, contact forms, simple blogs. What doesn't: anything that made Wix special. No Wix Bookings equivalent. Limited e-commerce. Basic SEO tools. Fewer integrations.
The real question: why Hostinger specifically? If it's purely about cost, static HTML hosting is free on Netlify or GitHub Pages. Export your Wix site, upload the files, done. No monthly fee at all.
Hostinger makes sense if you want managed hosting with a simple builder and don't want to learn anything techincal. It's the "just make it work" option. Not inspiring, but functional.
If you need more than basic, animations, complex layouts, real e-commerce, Hostinger's builder isn't the answer. Consider Webflow, Framer, or just staying with Wix. Sometimes the expensive tool is expensive for reasons.
For small businesses that just need hours, location, and a contact page online? Hostinger handles that for cheap. Expectations aligned, it delivers. Just don't expect Wix-level design possibilities.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I import my Wix site into Hostinger?
No direct import exists. Hostinger's builder doesn't read Wix files. You'll recreate your site manually. Export your Wix site to HTML first so you have all content and images organized as reference.
How much cheaper is Hostinger than Wix?
Significantly. Hostinger Website Builder starts around $3/month on long-term plans versus Wix's $17+ minimum. But Hostinger's builder has far fewer features. You get what you pay for.
Is Hostinger's website builder any good?
It's basic. Fine for simple business sites with a few pages. Not suitable for complex designs, portfolios that need visual impact, or sites with lots of interactive features. Think of it as Wix without the polish.
Should I use Hostinger Builder or WordPress on Hostinger?
Depends on your comfort level. Their builder is simpler but limited. WordPress on Hostinger gives more power but requires more setup. For basic sites, the builder works. For blogs or complex sites, WordPress.
