The Hostinger hosting dashboard provides all the essential features to manage your hosting plan’s settings, resources, and website files in one place.
If you have a web, Cloud or Agency hosting plan, you can access the user-friendly hosting dashboard through hPanel for all your websites created with PHP/HTML, such WordPress and other CMS, or Node.js. This interface allows you to monitor your website status, manage databases, settings and resources.
Before you start
Hostinger Website Builder and Horizons websites do not use this dashboard as they have different capabilities and alternative built-in features.
- If all your websites are created with Hostinger Horizons or Website Builder, the hosting dashboard will not be available.
- If you need specific hosting dashboard features (like the File Manager) for a project, you can add a new PHP/HTML website using a subdomain or temporary domain. Note that these features will only be available for that website, not for the other Builder or Horizons websites on your hosting plan.

Log in to your Hostinger account and navigate to the Websites section of hPanel.
