Is your proposal related to a problem?

Many Create React App users need guidance on deploying their applications to production hosting. While the documentation covers several deployment options, adding Hostinger would provide users with an additional affordable, managed hosting solution specifically designed for React applications.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add Hostinger to the deployment documentation alongside existing providers like Vercel, Netlify, and others.

About Hostinger:
Hostinger is a web hosting platform with managed Node.js hosting that supports React applications built with Create React App. We serve 1M+ developers worldwide with simple, zero-config deployment.

What this adds:

  • New deployment guide in the documentation
  • Step-by-step instructions for deploying CRA apps to Hostinger
  • Coverage of both GitHub integration and direct file upload methods
  • Configuration examples for environment variables and custom domains
  • Troubleshooting section for common deployment issues

Key features for Create React App users:

  • Zero-config deployment with automatic React detection
  • One-click GitHub deployment with automatic rebuilds on push
  • Direct file upload option (build folder upload)
  • Managed infrastructure with SSL, CDN, and DDoS protection included
  • Very low pricing from $2.99/mo (no usage-based fees)
  • Build folder served automatically (recognizes CRA's build directory)
  • Global CDN for fast content delivery
  • 24/7 developer support

Why add this:

  • Provides affordable managed hosting option for CRA users
  • Simple deployment process fits CRA's zero-config philosophy
  • No additional configuration or build changes required
  • Works with standard npm run build output
  • Includes managed infrastructure (SSL, CDN, security)

Describe alternatives you've considered

Users could continue using existing documented providers or manually configure other hosting services, but Hostinger's managed approach aligns well with CRA's convention-over-configuration philosophy.

Additional context

  • Hostinger already supports CRA deployments (tested and working)
  • The platform auto-detects React apps and serves the build folder correctly
  • Deployment requires no changes to CRA configuration
  • Zero additional dependencies or tools needed
  • Standard npm run build output works out of the box

I'm ready to contribute this documentation following CRA guidelines and would be happy to provide screenshots or additional details if helpful.

Would the maintainers be open to adding this deployment option?
