ADA Compliance for Hostinger Websites
Hostinger runs both hosting and its own website builder, and its customers include many first-time business owners. A new owner using a template is exactly the combination ADA claims tend to find: a small site, quickly built, with no one checking it.
This Hostinger ADA compliance checker runs the same engine as the Hostinger accessibility checker with the ADA preset selected, so the results are measured against WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Paste a page address above to see the issues on your own site.

How the ADA Applies to Your Hostinger Site
Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act requires businesses open to the public to give people with disabilities equal access to their goods and services. The Department of Justice states that this covers a business's web content as well as its physical locations ({ADA.gov web guidance (opens in a new tab)}). The law does not name a technical standard for private websites, so courts, settlements and demand letters tend to point to WCAG 2.1 Level AA, which is why this checker uses it.

None of this depends on which platform you use: a claim names the barrier on the page, not the software behind it. Read more in our ADA website compliance guide and the general ADA compliance checker.
Hostinger ADA Compliance Steps
- Run the ADA check above on your homepage, and then on a page of each type you publish.
- Review any text or images generated for you, and edit descriptions so they are accurate.
- Check template colors against contrast, and change any that fail.
- Scan again after you change templates or add a plugin or an app, since each changes the markup.
- Rescan to confirm each fix, and keep dated records. AccessBell Pro monitors up to 500 URLs per domain every day and emails you when something new fails.
What an Automated Hostinger ADA Check Can and Cannot Do
Automated testing finds a large share of the machine-detectable WCAG failures, such as missing alt text, unlabeled fields, low contrast and broken ARIA. It cannot judge whether alt text is accurate, whether a keyboard path makes sense or whether a screen reader user can complete a purchase. Test your key journeys by hand as well, and read our methodology for exactly what runs.
No tool, including this one, can certify that a Hostinger site is ADA compliant or protect you from a claim. Treat a scan as evidence of ongoing effort, and speak to a lawyer if you receive a demand letter.
Free scan and 3-day free trial
- Free, with no account: every issue found on the page, ranked by severity, with the WCAG criteria each one fails.
- With the trial: the failing HTML, how to fix each issue, scans of up to 500 pages per domain, daily monitoring and a dated record of your fixes.
Publishing an Accessibility Statement on Hostinger
Add a page for your accessibility statement and link it in your footer or navigation. Our free accessibility statement generator writes the text, and it should name the standard you follow, any known gaps and a way to contact you.
Hostinger ADA Compliance: Frequently Asked Questions
Is a Hostinger website ADA compliant?
It depends on the template, builder or WordPress theme and on your content. The ADA scan shows the automated issues.
Does AI-generated content create accessibility problems?
It can, if images and text are published without review. Always check alt text and headings.
Is my small business site really at risk?
Small businesses are the usual targets: 64% of companies sued in the first half of 2025 had revenue under $25 million.
What standard does the Hostinger ADA compliance check use?
WCAG 2.1 Level AA, the technical standard the Department of Justice has adopted for state and local government websites and the one courts and settlements most often cite for businesses. The ADA itself does not name a technical standard for private business websites.
