• Third-party integrations, including sending emails, SMS, or working with external APIs.

• 3D games or complex gaming platforms.
• Mobile apps for the App Store or Google Play.

6. Can I use Hostinger Horizons to build a specific project?

Yes. If you have a specific idea, describe it in detail, and Hostinger Horizons will generate a web app based on your prompts. The more specific your description, the better the results will be.

7. Can I choose the tech stack for my web app?

Hostinger Horizons automatically selects the optimal tech stack for your app, so you don’t have to worry about choosing specific technologies.

You can request certain frameworks or tools, such as React for the front end and Golang for the back end. However, since we built Hostinger Horizons with non-technical users in mind, changing the default tech stack may lead to compatibility issues.

8. Can I connect databases to my web app?

Yes, Hostinger Horizons supports direct database integrations. Check out our detailed guide on connecting Supabase to your project.

9. What databases does Hostinger Horizons support?

Hostinger Horizons is compatible with cloud-based databases like Supabase and Firebase. As long as you provide the correct connection details, you can easily integrate them into your project. Local databases can work, but they’re less reliable for long-term data storage.

10. Does Hostinger Horizons provide templates?

We don’t have a template library yet, but you can still easily create eye-catching designs. Just share a screenshot, photo, or link to a layout you like, and the AI will build a similar interface for you.

Yes, Hostinger Horizons offers built-in Stripe integration. Follow our payment integration guide for a step-by-step setup process.

12. Can I integrate the generated web app into an existing website?

Yes, you can embed your Hostinger Horizons web app into any website via an iframe. Use the following code snippet to add your app to an existing site:

<iframe src="https://your-horizons-app-link.tld" width="100%" height="600px" style="border:none; overflow:auto;"></iframe>

If you’re using Hostinger Website Builder, read our step-by-step guide on how to add custom code to your website.

13. Can I download or edit the code Hostinger Horizons generates?

Yes, Hostinger Horizons lets you edit code directly. You can choose specific areas of your site to modify and update them straight from the code.

14. Does Hostinger Horizons support API integrations?

Deploying and managing your web app

15. How long does it take to publish a web app?

You can ask Hostinger Horizons to immediately connect a domain to your app, so you don’t have to manually handle code or find separate hosting.

Yes, you can keep editing your web app after deployment. As long as you have message credits, you can use Hostinger Horizons to make changes and generate new versions of your app.

17. Can I have multiple web apps with one account?

Yes. Your Hostinger Horizons plan lets you create up to 50 separate web apps under one account. You can duplicate projects, export them, and manage everything easily from your hPanel dashboard.

Yes. Every Hostinger Horizons plan includes a domain name for your web app. The domain connection button will appear after you publish your project. Alternatively, you can connect a domain anytime via hPanel → Websites list → Change domain.

Hosting and export options

19. Does Hostinger Horizons support self-hosting?

Hostinger Horizons hosts all projects on its platform by default. However, you can export your app code anytime and self-host it on a virtual private server (VPS) or any other service.

This flexibility lets you start with our built-in hosting and move to your own setup whenever you’re ready.

20. Can I migrate my web app to another hosting provider?

Your web app is hosted on Hostinger by default and includes a free domain with the annual Hostinger Horizons plan.

If you prefer to host your app elsewhere, here are your options:

• Export your project and download the complete source code.
• Host your app on a VPS or any platform of your choice.
• Simply embed the web app in another site using an iframe.

These options give you the freedom to build with Hostinger Horizons and move your project wherever you want.

Troubleshooting and support

21. What do I do if I get an error while running a prompt?

Here are the steps you can take if you encounter an error while using Hostinger Horizons:

• Screenshot and report – Take a screenshot of the error and send it via the Hostinger Horizons chat. The AI will analyze the issue and attempt to suggest a fix.
• Refine your prompt – Try rewriting your description using an AI language model like ChatGPT. Hostinger Horizons often understands AI-generated prompts better.
• Revert to a previous version – If you had a working version before the error, use the Revert to this message option to return to that point.
• Use the built-in error fix – When Hostinger Horizons detects a fixable error, a pop-up will appear. Click Ask Horizons to try an automatic fix. Note that this counts as a message use.

Plans, pricing, and upgrades

23. How does a plan upgrade work?

You can upgrade your hosting and Hostinger Horizons plans separately. Currently, the only difference between Hostinger Horizons plans is the number of messages you get per month. Since the price per message is the same across all plans, you’ll only need to upgrade if you hit your message limit.

24. Is there a message limit on Hostinger Horizons?

The free trial includes 5 messages over 7 days. Paid plans start from 30 messages/month, and you can upgrade anytime.

The starting plan costs $19.99/month. The higher the tier, the more messages you get.

25. Can I get a refund for my Hostinger Horizons plan?

Yes. Hostinger Horizons comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

To request a refund, please get in touch with our live chat support. Keep in mind that if you’ve used more than half of your messages or have already published or exported your app, you may not be eligible for a refund.

Comparison, limitations, and future updates

26. How is Hostinger Horizons different from Hostinger Website Builder?

Hostinger Website Builder lets you create websites with a drag-and-drop editor, making it ideal for blogs, portfolios, and business sites. Meanwhile, Hostinger Horizons builds web applications, allowing you to create more complex online projects without writing a single line of code.

27. How is Hostinger Horizons different from competitors like Bolt.new and Lovable?

Hostinger Horizons is an all-in-one AI partner that lets you build, refine, and host your web app in one place. There’s no need for separate hosting, deployment, or domain services – you can go from idea to live app in minutes.

In contrast, some competitors generate code but leave you to manage hosting and deployment on your own.

28. Can I generate a mobile app with Hostinger Horizons?

No. Hostinger Horizons creates web apps that work seamlessly on mobile devices, but it doesn’t currently support creating native mobile apps for the App Store or Google Play.

29. Are there any limitations or restrictions to Hostinger Horizons?

While Hostinger Horizons offers powerful tools for building functional web applications without coding, it’s important to be aware of these limitations:

• Free trial message limit. You get 5 messages during the 7-day free trial. Paid plans unlock more messages per month based on your chosen tier.
• Third-party integrations require prompts. Hostinger Horizons supports many services, such as Stripe, Supabase, and AdSense, but you need to describe the integration in prompts. The AI guides you through the process, and there’s no plugin library or marketplace yet.
• No native mobile app creation. You can build web apps that work on mobile browsers, but not native apps for the App Store or Google Play. Currently, we don’t plan to support mobile app development.
• No Chrome extension or GitHub code import. Hostinger Horizons doesn’t support creating browser extensions or importing code directly from GitHub or other external platforms.
• No pre-made templates (yet). There’s no template library at this time, but you can upload a design screenshot or share a URL, and the AI will generate a similar layout for you.

That said, we’re constantly enhancing our product. New features like project export, automatic error fixing, and LLMs.txt for SEO visibility are already live or rolling out.
