Forms
Create signup forms in Hostinger Reach to collect contacts, choose the fields and consent options, style them, and embed them on your website.
Forms collect contacts from your website into your Reach audience. A submission creates or updates a contact, and can start an automation.
Find them under Forms.
Form types
Full page/embedded forms sit inside a page on your site or open from their own link. Pop-up forms are coming soon.
To create a form, choose what it offers visitors — a newsletter, a PDF or eBook, a discount code, a checklist, webinar access, or no incentive — and Reach prefills a prompt for it. Edit the prompt if you like, then generate the form.
Building a form
The editor works like the email editor, with a sidebar for fields and styling.
Fields — email is always required. Add first name, last name, phone number, and any custom field you've defined, and mark each as Required if you need it.
GDPR consent — an optional consent checkbox for jurisdictions that require explicit opt-in.
After submit — either show a thank-you message or redirect to a URL of your own.
Styling — background (or transparent), body text, input text, button, button text, and border colors, plus any images in the form, so it matches the page it sits on.
On the free plan, forms carry Reach branding; removing it needs a paid plan.
Statuses
Draft
Not published; not collecting
Active
Live and collecting submissions
Paused
Published previously, not collecting now
A live form opens read-only, so its fields can't shift under visitors mid-submission. Choosing to edit pauses it first, and it stops collecting until you select Activate form again.
Pause, activate, duplicate, or delete a form from its menu in the forms list.
Publishing
The publish screen offers several routes, depending on where your site lives:
AI Builder (Manual)
Connect your Hostinger site and place the form from the builder
AI Builder (Agentic)
Copy a prompt that adds the form to your site's AI chat
WordPress
Connect your WordPress site and place the form from the plugin
Embed
Paste two snippets into any site's HTML
Share
Use the form's own public URL, with nothing to embed
Manual and Agentic are the two modes of Hostinger AI Builder — see Integrations.
Embedding takes a script tag, once per page, plus a placeholder where the form should appear:
The publish screen shows both snippets with your form's ID already filled in.
What happens on submission
A submission creates the contact. If the address is already in your audience, it fills in any details that are missing without overwriting what's there.
If double opt-in is on, the new contact is set to Waiting for opt-in and receives a confirmation email; it isn't mailable until confirmed. With double opt-in off, the contact is Subscribed immediately.
To send a welcome email, or anything else in response, pair the form with a form-submission automation.
