will help you to link your Hostinger domain seamlessly. So let's get started
0:20
Prepare first of all your Hostinger domain. First things first, you want to go directly into Hostinger, access your Hostinger account
0:28
and navigate to your domain management area, here you will see all the domains that you
0:33
have available into your account. Now what you want to do is to find the domain you wish to connect and click into the Manage
0:40
into settings. Now accessing the DNS settings is the Hostinger, once you have selected your domain, access

in my case we are now in here, and then what you want to do is to go directly into the settings
1:10
So let's go back into Home, let's go into Settings, and once we are here, go directly
1:14
into Domains. Inside Domains, what you want to do is to choose the option that says I want to connect
1:21
a domain I own. Now here, what you want to do is to enter the hosting domain name and proceed with the
1:28
connection process. In our case, let's try to go with textpressvideos.online. So I'm going to copy it, paste it in here, and go for continue
1:38
Now updating a DNS request in Hostinger. Squarespace will provide you with the specific DNS settings which you need to enter back
1:46
into your Hostinger DNS settings. This usually includes CNAME and a record

2:21
here to add it into your domains. So I'm going to try to go directly with my CNAME
2:27
Here's the name of my host. So I'm going to go here, I go for the name of my host, and back in here, verify.squarespace.com
2:36

After updating a DNS setting into the Hostinger, you go into the Squarespace to verify your domain
