If you're creating a website using Hostinger Website Builder, your domain name must be pointed to Hostinger servers.

If your domain is registered at Hostinger, it's pointed to Hostinger servers by default. However, if you're using a third-party domain (that's not registered at Hostinger), you'd simply need to update your domain's nameservers manually.

To point your domain name to Hostinger, complete these steps:

  1. Log into your domain provider's website

  2. Find your domain's nameservers settings

  3. Delete all the current nameservers and insert the following two:

    1. ns1.dns-parking.com

    2. ns2.dns-parking.com

  4. Save the changes

After replacing the nameservers, your website will be up and running within 24 hours.


If you'd like to keep the current nameservers, you may point your domain to Hostinger Website Builder by adding two CNAME records to the domain's DNS zone:

  1. Log into your domain provider's website

  2. Find your domain's DNS zone

  3. Add the following CNAME records:

CNAME 1

CNAME 2

Name: @

Content: connect.hostinger.com

TTL: select any (or leave the default) value

Name: www

Content: connect.hostinger.com

TTL: select any (or leave the default) value

Example:

NOTE: When pointing a domain via CNAME records, make sure to delete all A and AAAA records (if any) for your root domain (@)

Save the changes, and your website will be up and running within 24 hours.
