DNS Setup on Hostinger

This guide shows you exactly where to add the DNS records the Lekro dashboard gives you, inside the Hostinger interface. Keep the dashboard open in another tab — you’ll copy values from it.

1. Open the DNS Zone Editor

1. Sign in to hpanel.hostinger.com.
2. In the top menu click Domains and pick the domain you want to connect.
3. In the left sidebar click DNS / Nameservers → DNS Zone Editor.

You’ll see a list of existing records.

2. Add the CNAME record

1. Scroll to Manage DNS Records and click Add new record.
2. Fill the form:
   • Type: CNAME
   • Name: www (if your domain is www.yourbrand.com)
   • Target: paste edge.lekro.net from the dashboard
   • TTL: 14400 (the default) is fine
3. Click Add Record.

If a default www CNAME already exists (often pointing to yourbrand.com): click the trash icon next to that row first, then add yours. Hostinger only allows one CNAME per host.

3. Add the verification TXT records (if shown)

For each TXT record shown in the Lekro dashboard:

1. Click Add new record.
2. Type: TXT.
3. Name: copy the TXT name from the dashboard.
4. TXT Value: copy the TXT value from the dashboard exactly.
5. TTL: 14400.
6. Save.

4. (Optional) Redirect the bare domain to www

1. In the left sidebar click Domain → Redirects.
2. Redirect from: yourbrand.com.
3. Redirect to: https://www.yourbrand.com.
4. Click Create.

5. Click Verify in the Lekro dashboard

Hostinger usually publishes DNS changes within a few minutes. Wait ~3 minutes, then click I’ve added the records — Verify. The status should flip to Live.

Troubleshooting

• “Not ready yet” after 5 minutes. Hostinger occasionally takes up to 30 minutes for DNS to propagate. Try again later.
• Existing record blocks the new one. Delete or edit the conflicting www record first; you can’t have two CNAMEs (or a CNAME plus an A) on the same host.
• My domain still resolves to a parking page. Hostinger sometimes keeps a default A record for www pointing to a parking server. Delete that A record so only the CNAME remains.
