Add DNS records at Hostinger

These are the steps for Hostinger. For what the records do and how to check the setup afterwards, see Subdomain setup.

Datahash tells you which record type to use and gives you the values. Follow the matching section below and enter the values you were given.

Both record types start the same way in Hostinger, so these screenshots cover either one.

  1. The Domains list in Hostinger hPanel, with one active domain row and its Manage button, before any control is boxed.
  2. The same Domains list, with the domain row and its Manage button boxed in red.
  3. The Domain Overview page, with DNS / Nameservers boxed in red in the left sidebar.

Adding NS records

Section titled “Adding NS records”

  1. Sign in to Hostinger.

  2. Go to Domains and choose the domain.

  3. Open the DNS / Nameserver section.

  4. Under Manage DNS Records choose NS as the type, enter the record name and one nameserver value, and click Add Record.

You will have been given four nameserver values. Repeat the last two steps until all four records exist. A delegation with one of the four missing looks complete under Manage DNS Records and does not resolve.

Adding a CNAME record

Section titled “Adding a CNAME record”

  2. Open the DNS / Nameserver section.

  3. Under Manage DNS Records choose CNAME as the type, paste the value you were given, and click Add Record.

Worth knowing

Section titled “Worth knowing”

Hostinger’s default TTL means a change can be served from cache for a while after you save it, so a setup step that fails immediately afterwards is worth retrying rather than redoing.
