Use your existing Hostinger domain on OfferingTree

Connect your Hostinger domain to your OfferingTree site by updating your domain's DNS settings. This allows you to maintain ownership of your domain and continue to renew it directly through Hostinger. You will continue to be responsible for paying for your domain through Hostinger.

Here's how:

1. Log in to Hostinger: Go to Hostinger.com and log in to your account.

2. Manage Domains: Navigate to the "Domains" section of your Hostinger control panel. Select the domain you want to connect to OfferingTree and click "Manage."

3. DNS Records: Find the "DNS / Nameservers" or "Advanced DNS Records" section. The exact labeling may vary slightly.

4. Add/Edit DNS Records: You'll need to add or edit two records:

   • WWW CNAME Record:

     • If a CNAME record for "www" exists: Find it and edit it.
     • If a CNAME record for "www" doesn't exist: Add a new record.
     • Type: CNAME
     • Name/Host: www
     • Value/Points to/Target: customdomains.offeringtree.com
       

   • @ A Record (for your root domain):

     • If an A record for "@" or your root domain (e.g., yourdomain.com) exists: Find it and edit it.
     • If an A record for "@" or your root domain doesn't exist: Add a new record.
     • Type: A
     • Name/Host: @ (or your root domain)
     • Value/Points to/IP address: 35.209.110.2

5. Save Changes: Save the changes you've made to the DNS records.

6. Check your DNS: Back in OfferingTree, open Site Settings → Domains and click Check my DNS. Your site goes live on its own a few minutes after your records are saved — there is no need to contact us. For the full walkthrough, see How To Get Your Own Custom Domain.

Important Notes for Hostinger:

• Hostinger Interface: Hostinger's interface can sometimes change. If you have trouble finding the correct settings, consult their help documentation or contact their support.
• Propagation: After saving your DNS changes, it can take some time for them to propagate across the internet. Be patient.
• Support: If you have any trouble, contact Hostinger's customer support for assistance. They are the best resource for questions about their specific interface.
• Root Domain: The "@" symbol often represents your root domain (e.g., yourdomain.com). Some providers might use a different way to indicate the root domain, so check their documentation or contact support if you're not sure.
