Data Transfer Guide

Hostinger AI Builder doesn't offer direct website export functionality, requiring a manual migration approach. First, copy all text content from your Hostinger site into organized documents. Download all images and media files from your Hostinger media library. For e-commerce products, manually record product details, variants, and pricing. When moving to Wix AI, use the prepared content to replace the AI-generated text in your new site. Upload images through Wix's Media Manager. For blog posts, recreate them individually in Wix's Blog Manager. Contact information and settings must be manually reconfigured in Wix's site settings and business tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

For a typical small business site, expect 2-4 days of active work. Complex sites with e-commerce or custom features may require up to a week for complete migration and testing.

Will I lose any features switching to Wix AI?+

Most features have equivalents, but some Hostinger-specific integrations may need replacement via Wix App Market. Wix generally offers more extensive features but different implementation approaches.

Can I use both tools during migration?+
