If you use Hostinger Website Builder, your domain name must be pointed to Hostinger servers for your website to work. There are multiple ways to do that 👇
Via Nameservers (Recommended)
If your domain is registered at Hostinger, it's pointed to Hostinger nameservers by default. However, if you use a third-party domain (that's not registered at Hostinger), you need to update your domain's nameservers manually:
Log into your domain provider's website
Find your domain's nameservers settings
Delete all the current nameservers and insert the following two:
ns1.dns-parking.com
ns2.dns-parking.com
Save the changes
After updating the nameservers, your website will be up and running within 24 hours.
Via CNAME Records
Alternatively, you may point your domain to Hostinger Website Builder by adding two CNAME records to your domain's DNS zone:
Log into your domain provider's website
Find your domain's DNS management zone
Make sure to delete all A and/or AAAA records (if any) for your root domain (@)
Add the following CNAME records:
CNAME 1 | CNAME 2 |
Name: @ Points to: connect.hostinger.com TTL: default, or 14400 | Name: www Points to: connect.hostinger.com TTL: default, or 14400 |
After saving the changes, your website will be up and running within 24 hours.
Via A and CNAME Records
You may also point your domain to Hostinger Website Builder by adding A and CNAME records to your domain's DNS zone:
Log into your domain provider's website
Find your domain's DNS management zone
Make sure to delete all A and/or AAAA records (if any) for your root domain (@)
Add the following A and CNAME records:
DNS Record Type | Name | Points to | TTL |
A | @ | 34.120.137.41 | default, or 14400 |
CNAME | www | connect.hostinger.com | default, or 14400 |
After saving the changes, your website will be up and running within 24 hours.
