Astro

Deploy Astro sites on Hostinger in static or SSR mode, including Node adapter setup, hPanel build settings, and per-page hybrid rendering options.

Content-first framework that ships zero JavaScript by default. Hostinger supports both static and server modes.

app_type: astro

package.json

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "astro dev",
    "build": "astro build",
    "preview": "astro preview"
  }
}

Static

Default Astro mode — pre-renders every page at build time.

hPanel settings:

Field	Value
Application type	astro
Build script	build
Output directory	dist
Entry file	—

Use when your content is known at build time (blogs, docs, marketing sites).

Server (SSR)

Runs a Node server that renders pages on each request. Required for dynamic routes, API endpoints, or server-only environment access.

Install the Node adapter:

npx astro add node

Configure astro.config.mjs:

import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
import node from '@astrojs/node';

export default defineConfig({
  output: 'server',
  adapter: node({ mode: 'standalone' }),
});

hPanel settings:

Field	Value
Application type	astro
Build script	build
Output directory	dist
Entry file	dist/server/entry.mjs

Hybrid rendering

Astro supports per-page opt-in/opt-out of pre-rendering:

---
// src/pages/dynamic.astro
export const prerender = false;  // server-rendered
---

---
// src/pages/static.astro
export const prerender = true;   // pre-rendered at build
---

Deploy as server mode — Astro handles each page individually based on the prerender flag.

Notes

• Node 20 or newer for Astro 4+.

• For static deployments, no entry file is needed.

• Bind to process.env.PORT if using a custom server adapter.
