Easy Tech TutsHow To Upload Website To Hostinger, Host & Publish HTML Files Easily 2026
By Impran M N
Getting a finished HTML website onto Hostinger doesn't require any coding - just Hostinger's built-in File Manager and a zipped copy of your site files. This guide walks through logging into hPanel, finding the right folder for your domain or subfolder, and uploading and extracting your files so the site goes live. The same process works whether you're publishing to your main domain or a new folder alongside an existing WordPress install.
01Log into Hostinger and open hPanel
Sign into your Hostinger account, then open the Manage button next to your hosting plan to reach the hPanel dashboard.
02Navigate to File Manager
From the Web Hosting section, open File Manager and go into the public_html folder, or create a new folder if you're hosting on a subfolder instead of the main domain.
03Zip your website files before uploading
Compress your entire local website into a single ZIP file so nothing gets missed during the upload.
04Upload and extract the ZIP file
Use the Upload button to select your ZIP file, then select it once uploaded and use Extract to unpack it inside File Manager.
05Move the files into place
Select all extracted files, use Move to place them in the folder you created or public_html, and confirm the move.
06Verify the live site
Visit your domain or subfolder URL to confirm the uploaded website is displaying correctly.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to zip my website before uploading it to Hostinger?
Yes, zipping your files into a single archive before uploading is the most reliable way to make sure nothing gets left out during the transfer.
Can I upload a website to a subfolder instead of my main domain?
Yes, you can create a new folder inside public_html and upload your files there if your main domain already has another site, like WordPress, installed.
Do I need coding knowledge to upload an HTML site to Hostinger?
No, the process uses Hostinger's File Manager interface, so uploading and extracting files doesn't require any coding.
Why isn't my site showing up after uploading to Hostinger?
Double check that the extracted files were moved into the correct folder, since files left nested inside an extra subfolder often won't display at the expected URL.
