How to Export Your Webflow Site to Hostinger ?

Here’s a quick step-by-step guide:

🛠 Step 1: Export Code from Webflow

• Go to your project in Webflow Designer.
• Click the Export icon (box with an arrow).
• Download the ZIP file.

🗂 Step 2: Prepare Hostinger

• Log in to your Hostinger hPanel.
• Go to the File Manager or set up an FTP connection (e.g., via FileZilla).
• Create a folder or navigate to your public HTML directory.

🚀 Step 3: Upload Files

• Unzip your Webflow export.
• Upload all files (HTML, CSS, JS, images) to Hostinger.

That’s it. Your site is now live — as a static website.

Key Limitations of Using Hostinger with Webflow

If you export your site:

• ❌ No CMS or dynamic content
• ❌ No Webflow forms (unless re-routed via a third-party service)
• ❌ No site search, animations triggered by CMS, or logic-based features
• ❌ No Ecommerce

So if your project requires any kind of real-time content updates or dynamic features, you’re better off staying on Webflow Hosting — or using tools to bridge the gap.

When to Use Webflow Hosting Instead

You should use Webflow’s native hosting if your site:

• Uses the CMS or Collections
• Has Webflow-native forms
• Needs Ecommerce or Logic
• Requires ultra-fast global CDN performance with built-in SSL

Advanced Use Case: Automate CMS & Host Elsewhere?

Here’s where Gapflow enters the picture.

If you prefer using Hostinger but still want to dynamically manage content, Gapflow offers a solution:

• ✨ Automate dynamic CMS entries via Webflow’s API
• 🔄 Sync content from Airtable, Notion, or Google Sheets
• ⚙️ Integrate with Make, Zapier, or n8n
• 📦 Bulk-upload dynamic data to Webflow, then export for static hosting

While this still requires occasional export/upload, it dramatically reduces manual work and keeps your content up-to-date and consistent.

Alternatives: Other Hosts That Work with Webflow Exports

• Cloudflare Pages – Speed and edge-caching at its best

Conclusion: Should You Use Hostinger with Webflow?

Yes — but only for static websites.
If you're building a brochure site, portfolio, or landing page, Hostinger works just fine. But if you need dynamic content or automation, you're better off with Webflow Hosting or using Gapflow to optimize the workflow.

Pro tip: If your agency manages multiple Webflow projects, Gapflow can save you dozens of hours per month by automating CMS workflows and syncing external content sources.
