Trigger Fixes From HTTP Status Changes
- Monitor HTTP status constantly and trigger AI troubleshooting when non-200 responses appear.
- Feed sanitized logs and a custom prompt to the AI so it can pick the best remediation action automatically.
Automatic Remediation At Scale
- Hostinger's AI applies automatic remediation actions, not just suggestions, to resolve errors quickly.
- They report a ~70% immediate success rate and fix about 16,000 websites monthly.
Escalate And Revert When Automation Fails
- When automatic fixes fail, run additional remediation attempts and escalate to human success specialists.
- Keep backups and offer immediate restore options so users can revert any applied changes safely.
