How To Host React JS Website on Hostinger
Hostinger is a popular web hosting platform that offers shared hosting services. If you’ve built a React application and are looking to deploy it on Hostinger, you’re in the right place. In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps to host your React website on Hostinger’s shared hosting.
Step 1: Build Your React Application
Before you can deploy your React application on Hostinger, you need to have the application ready. If you haven’t built your React app yet, you can get started by using tools like Create React App or by setting up a new React project manually. Once your app is ready, you’ll need to build it for production using the following command:
npm run build
Step 2: Set Up Your Hostinger Account
If you don’t already have a Hostinger account, you’ll need to sign up for one. Once you have an account, log in to your Hostinger control panel and navigate to the File Manager.
Step 3: Upload Your Build Files
Using the File Manager, upload the contents of the build folder that was created when you ran the “npm run build” command. This folder contains the production-ready files for your React application.
Step 4: Create an .htaccess File
In the File Manager, create a new file named .htaccess in the root directory of your hosting account. Add the following code to the .htaccess file to ensure that routing in your React application works correctly:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.html$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.html [L]
Step 5: Test Your React Application
Once your build files are uploaded and the .htaccess file is in place, you should be able to access your React application by visiting your domain. Test that your application is running as expected and that routing is working properly.
Step 6: Configure Your Domain (Optional)
If you have a custom domain, you can configure it to point to your Hostinger hosting account. You can do this by updating the DNS settings for your domain to use Hostinger’s nameservers.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You have successfully deployed your React application on Hostinger’s shared hosting. Now your website is live and accessible to everyone on the internet. If you encounter any issues during the deployment process, don’t hesitate to reach out to Hostinger’s support team for assistance.
