If you have purchased a domain at Hostinger and want to link it to a website created in Canva, follow these steps:
Step 1 — Preparations
To connect your domain, Canva requires you to add a unique TXT record. Follow these steps to obtain the required value:
Log in to your Canva account and navigate to the Domain Settings page.
Locate the value on the Add TXT record section:
Record type: TXT
Name: _canva-domain-verify
Value: Use the value under Value / Points to
Save these details (e.g., in a text file) for easy reference in the next step.
Step 2 — Add Canva records
Access your domain's DNS zone editor on hPanel and follow these steps:
Remove conflicting records:
Delete all the existing A records and AAAA records for @ (the root domain), if there are any.
Delete the existing CNAME record for www.
Add the TXT record using the values obtained from Canva on the previous step:
Host: _canva-domain-verify
Points to: The value provided by Canva
TTL: Leave the default value
Add the required A records:
Type | Host | Points to | TTL |
A | @ | 103.169.142.0 | Default |
A | www | 103.169.142.0 | Default |
After saving these changes, allow up to 24 hours for the DNS settings to propagate before proceeding to the next step.
Step 3 — Verify the connection
Once propagation is complete:
Log in to your Canva account.
Go to the Domain Settings page and confirm that all three records appear as Connected.
That’s it! Your domain is now successfully pointing to your Canva website.
