The latest from Hostinger: product updates changelog (updated September 2024)

Stay current with our latest product updates, including new tools and features that make managing your websites faster and easier. We’ll update this article each month.

August updates

August was truly special: our global client base has surpassed 3 million, and the number of managed domains has reached 5 million. We’re happy to serve customers from over 150 countries, with India, Brazil, the USA, Indonesia, and France leading the way.

Read on to find out what our product teams have created and kick off your business in September.

Web hosting & managed WordPress hosting

• Save time – our WordPress AI Troubleshooter can resolve even more issues at once. Now, it applies all possible auto-fixes for the 403 Forbidden error. Besides quicker website recovery, the tool will inform you how it resolved the problem. We are working to provide similar functionality for other errors like 404 Not Found or 500 Internal Server.

• Efficiently manage your domains and avoid potential disruptions by taking timely action, such as addressing grace period statuses. The updated Websites dashboard now features clear visual indicators for domain statuses. We’re still testing the change, with a full rollout planned in the upcoming months.

Hostinger Website Builder

• Create professional product images and ensure a consistent look across your business website with AI-powered image background remover. Upload an image to the product’s page, hover over it, and click the Edit background button. Then, pick a clean, solid background color that highlights the product. 

• Quickly upload large inventories with AI-powered CSV product upload feature. Don’t worry about format compatibility – our AI analyzes and automatically adjusts the file data, saving you time. The feature is in beta, currently allowing up to 50 products per file. See it in action:

• Build your audience or promote your brand by offering free or paid digital content. Offering free eBooks, courses, or software tools lets you test the market, launch beta versions, and gather user feedback. Note that you won’t need to use a payment provider for free products. 

• Let your clients personalize their orders by adding more information in a custom field. For example, they can enter a name your bakery should write on the cake, or add a link to a file for a T-shirt print. 

Note that these updates are available with the Business Website Builder plan.

Virtual private server (VPS) hosting

Our VPS team launched two new templates that allow you to quickly and efficiently deploy a pre-configured environment, bringing the total number to 75:

• Coolify – simplify the deployment and management of applications and databases with our VPS Coolify hosting and this modern, open-source, self-hosted control panel.

• Ollama – run and fine-tune your large language models (LLMs), including Ollama, the Llama3 model, and Open WebUI, with this versatile yet lightweight platform and our VPS LLM hosting.

hPanel

• To help you get things done faster on hPanel, we’ve moved the Home, Websites, Domains, Emails, VPS, Billing, and Marketplace menus from the topbar to the left-hand sidebar on desktop and tablet. If you haven’t seen the updated menu yet, a one-time pop-up with a quick video tutorial will help you understand how the new navigation works.

• We added five new languages to the hPanel, making it accessible to an even wider international community. The new languages are Polish, Vietnamese, Hebrew, Thai, and Romanian.

Domains

• You will now get domain expiration and WHOIS contact data reminder emails directly from us. As we will be relying less on third parties, you will get a more consistent and professional user experience.
