Data Transfer Guide

Hostinger AI Builder does not offer a direct website export tool. Data transfer is a manual process. First, copy all text content from each page of your Hostinger site into a text document. Second, download all images, videos, and logos from the Hostinger media library to your local computer. For blog posts, manually copy the text and download associated images. In Atoms, you will create new pages using the AI prompt or blank templates. Paste your text into the Atoms editor sections and re-upload your media files into Atoms' asset manager. Product data for e-commerce must be re-entered manually into Atoms' product management system. This process ensures you have full control over the content placed in your new Atoms site structure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I transfer my data from Hostinger AI Builder to Atoms?+
Yes, but not automatically. You must manually copy text and download media files from Hostinger, then upload and paste them into your new Atoms website. There is no direct import/export tool between the two platforms.
How long does migration take?+
For a simple brochure website, expect 4-8 hours of active work. For a site with a blog and e-commerce, it may take 1-2 days. Domain propagation adds 24-48 hours after DNS changes.
Will I lose any features switching to Atoms?+
You may lose specific advanced SEO tools or certain e-commerce integrations present in Hostinger. Review the feature mapping above. Atoms' freemium model means some advanced features may require a paid plan.
Can I use both tools during migration?+
Absolutely. Keep your Hostinger site live and published while you build and test your Atoms site. Only point your domain to Atoms and cancel Hostinger once the new site is fully ready and tested.
Is Atoms cheaper than Hostinger AI Builder?+
Atoms offers a freemium model with a free tier, which can be cheaper initially. For comparable features (e.g., e-commerce, custom domain), compare Atoms' paid plans to Hostinger's pricing, as costs depend on your specific needs.
