How to connect your domain from Hostinger to your Siimple website

If you purchased your domain through Hostinger, you can point it to your Siimple site in just a few minutes. You’ll be updating your DNS records so your domain knows where to send visitors.

Updated today

Don’t worry — you’re not moving your domain or breaking anything. You’re just telling it where your website lives.


Before you start

Make sure you have:

  • A published Siimple website

  • Your custom domain name (example: yourbusiness.com)

  • Access to your Hostinger account


Step 1: Copy your Siimple DNS records

  1. Log in to your Siimple dashboard

  2. Open the site you want to connect a domain to

  3. Go to Settings → Domain

  4. Copy the DNS records shown (you’ll use these in a minute)

You’ll usually see:

  • A record (points your domain to our servers)

  • CNAME record (for www)

Leave this page open.


Step 2: Log in to Hostinger

  1. Go to hostinger.com and log in

  2. From the main dashboard, click Domains

  3. Select the domain you want to connect

  4. Click DNS / Nameservers or DNS Zone Editor


Step 3: Update your DNS records

You’ll now match what’s in Siimple with what’s in Hostinger.

Add or update the A record

  • Type: A

  • Name / Host: @

  • Points to / IP Address: (use the IP shown in Siimple)

  • TTL: Default

If an A record already exists for @, edit it instead of adding a new one.


Add or update the CNAME record (for www)

  • Type: CNAME

  • Name / Host: www

  • Points to / Target: (use the value shown in Siimple)

  • TTL: Default

If a www CNAME already exists, update it.


Step 4: Remove conflicting records (important)

If you see any of the following for @ or www, remove them:

  • Extra A records

  • Old CNAME records

  • Parking or forwarding records

You want only one A record for @ and one CNAME for www.


Step 5: Save your changes

Click Save in Hostinger.

That’s it — your domain is now pointing to Siimple 🎉


Step 6: Wait for DNS to propagate

Domain changes aren’t instant!

  • Usually takes 15–60 minutes

  • Can take up to 24 hours in rare cases

Your site may load on one device before another — that’s normal.

Still stuck?

If your site isn’t showing after 24 hours:

  • Double-check your records match Siimple exactly

  • Make sure there are no duplicate A or CNAME records

  • Reach out to us — we’re happy to help
