Hostinger Website Builder to Webflow
Migrate from Hostinger Website Builder to Webflow
Hostinger's builder is useful while the site is simple. The move starts making sense when the website needs a more deliberate CMS, reusable components or frontend behavior the builder was not designed around. The site is the easy half. The plan it sits inside is the half worth planning.
A migration like this usually takes 2 weeks
Why people move
What changes when you move from Hostinger Website Builder to Webflow.
| What is being compared | Hostinger Website Builder | Webflow |
|---|---|---|
| Design | Hostinger Website Builder Sections and grids, inside the builder's shapes | Webflow Layout built directly, with the breakpoints yours to set |
| Content model | Hostinger Website Builder Pages, and a blog if the site has one | Webflow Collections you define, with the fields the content actually has |
| Getting the site out | Hostinger Website Builder Some page content and assets come out. The implementation does not | Webflow Not applicable The defining fact of the job, and worth stating precisely. There is an export path, and what it carries is text and files rather than the layout, the styles, the forms, the store or the SEO settings. So it is useful source material and it is not a website, which is why this is priced as a rebuild. |
| What the plan covers | Hostinger Website Builder Hosting, the builder, usually the domain, and mailboxes on that domain | Webflow The site and its hosting, and nothing else The bundle is genuinely cheaper and genuinely harder to leave, because three of those four things have nothing to do with the website you are moving. |
| Selling something | Hostinger Website Builder A store inside the builder, on the builder's terms | Webflow Webflow Ecommerce, or a dedicated platform connected to the site Worth pausing on. If the store is the business rather than a shelf beside it, the right answer is often neither of these and the store gets its own platform. |
Once you have decided
What actually migrates.
| What you have | What happens | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Pages and content | Rebuild Made again in Webflow. The old version is a reference rather than something that can be imported. | The live site and any export worth running are both source material. The text and the files come out; the layout, the styling and everything that made it that page rather than a document do not, so the Webflow implementation is new. |
| Blog posts | Rebuild Made again in Webflow. The old version is a reference rather than something that can be imported. | Inventoried from the live site and from any export, then rebuilt as collection items with the dates, authors and addresses carried rather than reset to the day of the migration. |
| Assets | Move Comes across as it is. The content survives the move and the work is transporting it, not remaking it. | Collected from the media library, the export or the published pages, then compressed and rehosted. Worth doing early, because the plan ending and the images disappearing are the same event. |
| Store | Depends Not answerable in general. Which one it is turns on your plan, your export or a decision nobody has made yet. | Scoped on its own. The site export does not carry the store, so the catalog and the platform that will hold it are a separate decision with a separate price. |
| URLs and SEO metadata | Reconfigure The same thing, set up again. Nothing is recreated, but it has to be pointed at the new site by hand. | Neither is in the export, so both are read off what is published, plus the addresses analytics shows people still reaching. What should stay is kept, and what changes is mapped. |
Before you budget it
Where this migration gets complicated.
- 01
A bundled domain has terms worth reading first
A domain included with a hosting plan is usually free for the first term and renews at its own price afterward, and transfers have their own timing. Where it is registered, what it renews at and when it can move are questions to answer at the start rather than at cutover.
- 02
The builder's tiers decide how much of the current site is even reproducible
Some of what the site does now is a plan feature rather than a design choice, so a like-for-like rebuild is not always the goal. Each one gets identified as a native Webflow build, an outside service, or something nobody actually needed.
How it runs
How the migration works.
-
01
Plan
The site, the domain, the email, the store and whatever else is tied to the same account.
-
02
Build
Pages, components, collections and content built in Webflow, with the old site open beside it.
-
03
Migrate
Addresses, metadata and analytics carried across, and whatever is staying at Hostinger left alone.
-
04
Launch
Forms, redirects, analytics, then the website records. Mail is tested after the cutover, with MX and authentication records still exactly where they were. Typically 2 weeks, then a week of watching the addresses.
