Hostinger CDN is included with all Web hosting plans as well as Cloud and Agency hosting, and it is enabled from Hostinger dashboard for each website. It is not available on VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosting or for websites hosted elsewhere, because the Content Delivery Network (CDN) works together with Hostinger’s hosting servers and DNS (Domain Name System).

Requirements to enable Hostinger CDN
The domain must use Hostinger nameservers, and its A record must point to the IP address of your hosting plan. Domains managed by external nameservers cannot be routed through Hostinger CDN until the nameservers are changed (see Hostinger CDN and your DNS records).
Only one CDN can be active for a website. Disable Cloudflare or another proxy service before enabling Hostinger CDN (see Hostinger CDN vs Cloudflare).
The website must be hosted on the plan itself; the CDN cannot be placed in front of a website hosted with another provider or on a VPS.
What Hostinger CDN costs
The CDN, image optimization, caching, and security features are part of the hosting plan. There is no separate CDN subscription to buy and no per-visit CDN fee.
Automatic activation on eligible plans
Hostinger enables the CDN automatically for eligible web hosting websites since August 2026, and sends an email notification before the change. The activation follows the same requirements as a manual activation, so Hostinger only updates DNS records in zones it manages — websites on external nameservers are not routed through the CDN automatically. You can disable the CDN at any time from Hostinger dashboard → Websites → Dashboard → Performance → CDN; see Hostinger CDN: How to optimize your website for the activation details and how to restore custom DNS records.
When to contact Hostinger support about CDN availability
Contact Hostinger support if the CDN option is missing for a website on an included plan, or if the CDN shows as unavailable although the domain uses Hostinger nameservers. Include the domain name and the hosting plan.
Once the plan and domain requirements are met, Hostinger CDN is a single click away for every website on the account.
