Change a Regular Page URL in Hostinger AI Builder

Updated 5 November 2026 · Standard formula, shown below

Yes. In Hostinger Website Builder, you can change a regular page’s URL by editing that page’s URL slug in the page settings, then saving and publishing the site. The exact labels can vary as the editor changes, but the setting is generally found by opening the Pages panel, selecting the page, and editing its URL or SEO settings.

What a page URL change means

A page URL is the web address visitors use to reach a particular page. For example, a page currently at example.com/about-us might be changed to example.com/our-story. The final part, such as about-us, is commonly called the slug. Changing the slug does not necessarily change the page’s title, its text, or the website’s domain.

This applies to a regular website page, not necessarily to special URLs controlled by other features, such as a store product, blog post, or system page. Those content types may have their own editing screens or URL rules. If you do not see a URL field in the selected page’s settings, check whether you are editing the right type of content and consult the current Hostinger help documentation for that editor.

How to change the URL in manual mode

In the website editor, look for the page list or Pages panel. The steps are typically as follows; button names and their position may differ slightly between editor versions.

Open the site in Hostinger Website Builder and enter the editing view.
Open the Pages panel and select the regular page whose address you want to change.
Open that page’s settings. Look for a field named URL, Page URL, slug, or a similar term, sometimes within SEO settings.
Replace only the page-specific part of the address with the new slug. Use a short, descriptive phrase, such as our-story, rather than a full domain name.
Confirm or save the setting, then preview the site and publish the changes if you want the new address to be live.

“Manual mode” usually means you are editing the page and its settings yourself rather than relying on an automated setup flow. It does not mean you need to change the URL in code. A normal page slug is usually managed through the editor’s page controls. If the editor offers a complete URL field instead of a slug field, follow its on-screen guidance and avoid entering the domain twice.

Choose a clear slug and check the result

A good URL gives visitors a reasonable idea of what they will find. Prefer a concise, readable slug that matches the page’s purpose. For instance, contact is clearer than page-3, while services may be more suitable than a long string of keywords.

Use lowercase letters and hyphens between words when the editor permits them.
Avoid spaces, unnecessary punctuation, and dates that will soon become outdated.
Keep the slug distinct from other pages. Two pages cannot reliably use the same address path on the same site.
Check links in menus, buttons, and page text after changing the URL.
Open the published address in a new browser tab to confirm that it loads the intended page.

The editor may automatically convert spaces or uppercase letters, reject certain characters, or suggest a different slug if the address is already in use. Treat the value shown after saving as the source of truth. The complete URL also depends on the site’s domain and any path structure applied by the builder.

What happens to old links and search results

Changing a page URL changes its address; it does not make every existing reference to the old address update automatically. A visitor who follows an old bookmark, email link, or link from another website may reach a not-found page unless the platform redirects the old address to the new one.

After a change, look in the editor or site settings for a redirect option. If a redirect can be configured, direct the old path to the new path and test it after publishing. Do not assume a redirect exists just because the page slug was edited. If the builder does not offer the needed redirect control, check Hostinger’s current documentation or support options before changing a URL that receives meaningful traffic.

Search engines may take time to discover a new address, and previously indexed results can continue to show the old one for a while. Updating internal links and using a redirect where available can help visitors and search engines find the replacement. Avoid changing a URL repeatedly: each change can create more outdated links to account for.

Common problems and practical fixes

The URL field is missing: Confirm that you selected a regular page and opened its settings, rather than a section or navigation item. Some page types use separate controls.
The new slug will not save: Try a simpler slug with letters, numbers, and hyphens. Check for a duplicate page path and remove spaces or unsupported symbols.
The address looks unchanged: Save the page setting and publish the site. Then reload the published page; editor preview and live-site changes are not always the same thing.
A menu link still goes to the old address: Edit the navigation item or button and select the correct page again. Check manually added links in page content too.
The old address no longer opens: Add a redirect if the builder provides that feature, or restore the old URL until you can put a suitable redirect in place.

Also distinguish the page slug from the domain name. If you want to change example.com itself, that is a domain or site-address task, not a regular page URL edit. Likewise, changing a page’s menu label usually changes only the words displayed in navigation, not the page’s URL.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change a page URL after publishing?
Usually, yes. Edit the page’s URL or slug in its settings, save, and publish again. Check for old links and redirects after the change.

Does changing the page name change its URL?
Not necessarily. A page title or navigation label can be separate from its URL slug. Check the URL setting directly rather than assuming a title edit will change the address.

Do I enter the whole website address?
Usually not when the field is for a slug. Enter the page path, such as our-story, and let the builder combine it with the site’s domain. Follow the field’s instructions if it explicitly asks for a full URL.

Will the old URL redirect automatically?
Do not assume so. Check the builder’s redirect controls and test the old address after publishing. If it no longer works, set up a redirect if that option is available.

Can two pages have the same URL?
No, not as the same path on the same site. Choose a unique slug; the editor may reject a duplicate or require you to use a different address.

Why can’t I find the URL option?
You may have selected a menu item instead of the page, or the content may be a blog post, product, or system page with separate settings. Open the page’s own settings and check the current editor documentation if the option remains unavailable.
