Hostinger says 19,000 customers have used its Connector add-on to manage hosting services from AI-assisted coding tools, and about 1,500 now use it daily.
The figures suggest developers are using artificial intelligence for more than writing and testing software, with more activity shifting into deployment and ongoing administration. Users complete 30,000 to 40,000 actions a day through the add-on to manage websites and related services.
AI coding assistants have become a regular part of software development, helping programmers generate code, review changes, and fix errors. Attention is now turning to the next stage of the workflow, where developers need to deploy projects, configure infrastructure, and keep services running after the code is complete.
Hostinger Connector is a free add-on that links the company's services to AI-assisted coding workspaces. It allows developers and coding agents to manage websites, domains, servers, and other services without leaving the coding environment.
The tool works with coding environments including VS Code, Cursor, Devin, and Antigravity, as well as coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex. Once connected, users can deploy websites, edit files, change settings, manage DNS, update nameservers, check server resources, manage firewall rules, and handle SSH keys.
It also supports workflows in which developers use AI tools to generate a front end and then connect it to WordPress, Hostinger Ecommerce, a content management system, or a custom back end.
Workflow shift
The move reflects a broader trend across software tools as vendors try to bring more of the development process into a single workspace. Products such as Gemini Code Assist, Cline, Continue, and Amazon Q already help developers not only write and review code, but also run commands, edit files, write tests, and connect to outside tools.
That trend is reshaping the role of the integrated development environment, or IDE. Rather than serving only as a place to write code, it is increasingly becoming the main console for a wider range of software tasks.
For hosting providers and infrastructure companies, that creates a new route into developers' daily routines. If more operational work happens inside AI-supported coding tools, vendors that expose hosting, domain, and server controls through those environments may gain more frequent engagement from users.
Hostinger has also widened the scope of the Connector with additions including Hostinger Reach for email marketing and Hostinger Ecommerce for online sales. That suggests it is extending the tool beyond technical hosting tasks into commercial and marketing functions tied to running an online business.
The Lithuania-founded company says it serves more than 5 million users across more than 150 countries and employs nearly 900 people. Its largest markets include India, Brazil, Indonesia, the United States, and France.
A Stack Overflow survey cited by Hostinger found that more than half of professional developers use AI tools daily, underlining how quickly such systems have become embedded in software work. The question for providers is shifting from whether developers will use AI at all to how much of the production process they will trust AI to handle.
Saulius Lazaravičius, Vice President of Product at Hostinger, described the change in user behaviour as a sign that developers want the same speed in deployment that they already get from AI-assisted coding.
"AI helped developers move faster from idea to code. Now they want the same speed from code to live project. The fact that people are coming back every day and taking tens of thousands of actions through the Connector shows this is no longer a nice-to-have. It is the next workflow they want AI to help with," Lazaravičius said.
