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:

  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

Via CNAME Records

Alternatively, you may point your domain to Hostinger Website Builder by adding two CNAME records to your domain's DNS zone:

  1. Log into your domain provider's website

  2. Find your domain's DNS management zone

  3. Make sure to delete all A and/or AAAA records (if any) for your root domain (@)

  4. Add the following CNAME records:

CNAME 2

Name: @

Points to: connect.hostinger.com

TTL: default, or 14400
