Redirect Supply vs Hostinger redirects: Keep your links alive when you change hosts
Hostinger lets you create 301 and 302 redirects inside a website's hPanel, with more advanced patterns written as .htaccess rules. That works while the site lives on Hostinger. Redirect Supply runs your redirects independently of any hosting plan, so old URLs keep landing on the right pages, with wildcards, automatic HTTPS, and analytics, wherever your website moves next.

Hostinger redirects or Redirect Supply? The short answer
Keep Hostinger's redirects if your website stays on Hostinger and you only need a few page redirects inside it.
Switch to Redirect Supply if you're moving your site to another platform, parking extra domains, or want redirects without touching .htaccess. The free plan covers your first domain, and your domain can stay registered at Hostinger.
For a move or rebrand, that makes it a Redirect Supply job.
FAQs
Questions about Hostinger redirects and Redirect Supply
Can I use Hostinger redirects without a hosting plan?
Hostinger's Redirects tool lives in the dashboard of a Hostinger website, alongside the site's files. Redirect Supply doesn't need hosting at all: you connect a domain with DNS records, even if no website exists behind it.
What happens to my redirects if I move my site away from Hostinger?
Redirects created in hPanel or .htaccess belong to the Hostinger website, so they stop working once that website is gone. With Redirect Supply, redirects are separate from hosting and keep running after the move. See renaming your website for a step-by-step checklist.
Do I need to write .htaccess rules for complex redirects?
On Hostinger, advanced patterns like redirecting /blog/* to /articles/* are written as .htaccess rewrite rules. In Redirect Supply, you create the same wildcard redirect in the dashboard, no code required.
Do Hostinger redirects work with HTTPS?
For sites hosted on Hostinger with an SSL certificate, yes. For a domain that only redirects, test https://yourdomain.com in a private window before relying on it. Redirect Supply issues an SSL certificate for every connected domain automatically, with or without a website behind it.
Do I have to move my domain away from Hostinger?
No. Your domain can stay registered at Hostinger. You only update a few DNS records so Redirect Supply handles the redirects. Follow the DNS setup guide.
How do I switch from Hostinger redirects to Redirect Supply?
Export or list your current redirects, recreate them in Redirect Supply or import them from a CSV, then update the domain's DNS records in Hostinger. Remove the old hPanel redirects once DNS has propagated.
