ReadTutorials — common questions
Do these tutorials work on any Hostinger plan?
Most do. Domain, DNS, SSL, email and WordPress instructions apply across web, cloud and builder plans. VPS-specific tutorials only apply to KVM plans, because those are self-managed.
Are the screenshots current?
We describe the flow and the menu grouping rather than exact pixel positions, because Hostinger updates hPanel regularly. Where a label may have changed, we say so.
I am stuck halfway through. What should I do?
Hostinger support is available 24/7 by live chat in more than ten languages, with a median first response of around a minute for English requests. For anything involving data loss, contact support before you experiment.
