Guide: How to use AI to create your own website in a few minutes

Does thinking of creating your own website conjure visions of tech jargon and coding mysteries? Well, fear not because the future of website building is here.

So many of you have called or emailed me asking for help getting your business, side hustle or hobby online. Let’s look at the AI website builder Hostinger so I can show you how easy it is these days. Seriously, the example site I whipped up took under 10 minutes.

FYI, Hostinger is just one option, and they didn’t pay me to write about them. Hocoos, Durable and Mixo all work similarly.

Step 1: Pick your plan 

Hosts ensure the website is owned and controlled by you. With Hostinger, plans start at $2.99 a month and come with many freebies, like a custom domain. Hosting on Hoccos or Durable is free (depending on the URL), and Mixo starts at $9 a month.

Step 2: set it up

Now that you own the domain let’s set up your site. 

On the Hostinger dashboard, look for the Setup option located under the Premium Web Hosting banner. You’ll find a similar option if using a different service.

You’ll be directed to a page that asks you to Create or Migrate a Website. Since you’re crafting from scratch, select Create a new website, followed by Hostinger Builder with AI as your preferred platform. Sweet.

Step 3: Pick the perfect name 

A new website requires a web address, so choose a domain name. Name your website to something that is uniquely yours. Need help? Namecheckr scans the web and social media to see if the handle you want is open.
