Hosted Blog DNS: Hostinger

Add the CNAME record for your Grandranker hosted blog in Hostinger hPanel.

Point your blog subdomain (e.g. blog.yourdomain.com) at Grandranker with one CNAME record. New to hosted blogs? Start with the Hosted Blog guide.

Enter the label only. Hostinger appends the root domain automatically, so type blog rather than the full hostname.

How to Connect

  1. In Grandranker, go to Integrations → Hosted Blog, enter your blog subdomain (e.g. blog.yourdomain.com) — never www or your root domain, that takes your site offline.
  2. Leave the screen open. It shows the Host and Target and checks DNS automatically.
  3. In hPanel, open Domains → Domain portfolio → Manage beside your domain.
  4. Open DNS / Nameservers → DNS records tab.
  5. In Manage DNS Records, choose CNAME as the type.
  6. Enter the Host in Name, the Target in Target.
  7. Keep the default TTL, choose Add Record.
  8. Back in Grandranker, status moves Not connected → Provisioning DNS + SSL… → Live on its own; SSL issues automatically. Once Live, published articles appear on your blog.

Troubleshooting

Status stays on "Provisioning DNS + SSL…"

Hostinger allows up to 24 hours. Confirm the record matches the exact target, then leave the page — it checks itself.

Hostinger says the record conflicts

Delete the existing record with the same name (often an A record from a website builder) first.
