How to redirect a domain in Hostinger Website Builder

Creating a redirection on Hostinger Website Builder via Cloudflare

Updated 4 days ago

If you have a website created with Hostinger Website Builder and you want your domain to automatically open a different domain (for example, redirect yourdomain.com to newdomain.com), you can set up the redirect using Cloudflare.

Since redirects for Website Builder websites need to be created externally, Cloudflare is a simple way to make the redirection work correctly.

How to set it up?

  1. Create a free Cloudflare account.
    Go to Cloudflare and create a free account if you don’t have one yet.
  2. Add your domain to Cloudflare.
    Once logged in, add your domain to Cloudflare and follow the onboarding steps.
    Cloudflare will scan your DNS records automatically, so you can confirm everything looks correct before continuing.
  3. Point your domain to Hostinger Website Builder.
    After Cloudflare gives you the new nameservers, update them in your domain settings (where your domain is registered). Once the nameservers are updated, Cloudflare will be managing your domain’s DNS.  Now, make sure your domain is correctly connected to Hostinger Website Builder so it opens your website normally.
  4. Create the redirect in Cloudflare.
    In your Cloudflare dashboard, open your domain and create a redirect rule to send visitors to the destination domain you want.
For example:
If someone opens yourdomain.com, they will automatically be redirected to newdomain.com.

And that’s it 🎉
Your domain will now redirect through Cloudflare successfully!

Tip: Don’t forget to publish your Website Builder site ✨
If your domain is connected to a Website Builder website, make sure the website is published so visitors can access it properly.
