Before pointing a domain to Elementor, make sure that you connect the domain name from My Elementor dashboard.
Step 1 – Find the A and CNAME from Elementor
You can find this by following all the prompts after connecting your domain from My Elementor dashboard. You can click on Found it, what’s next? To find the A and CNAME record.
Step 2 - Add the DNS records in Hostinger
If your domain is using Hostinger’s nameservers, you can open a new browser tab and access your domain's DNS zone to create an A record and a CNAME record.
If you have enabled Hostinger CDN, disable it.
Remove the AAAA record for the root domain (@), if there is one.
Remove the existing A record or the root domain (@):
Remove the CNAME record for www.
Add the following records to your domain's DNS zone:
DNS record type: A Name: @ TXT value: paste the value that you copied at Elementor TTL: 14400
| DNS record type: CNAME Name: www TXT value: paste the value that you copied at Elementor TTL: 14400 |
After making these changes, DNS propagation will begin. This process can take up to 24 hours. During this time, your website may be temporarily unavailable, but it will come back online once the process is complete.
Step 3 – Connect the domain to Elementor
Go back to the Elementor tab and click I updated my records. Connect my domain.
Wait for the process to complete. During this process, Elementor will:
Add the domain to your site
Issue an SSL certificate for the domain
Verify your DNS records
