Managing subdomains using Hostinger Horizons<\/h2>
Creating subdomains<\/h2>
If your root domain is already connected to Hostinger Horizons, you should create a subdomain (subdomain.domain.tld) directly in your domain’s DNS zone<\/b>. For that, you can follow these steps:<\/p>
\n<\/p>
Go to your domain’s DNS zone and create an A record<\/a><\/b>:<\/p>
- \n
- \n
DNS record type: A<\/b><\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Name: your subdomain’s name<\/b>; e.g., for shop.domain.tld<\/b>, you need to input shop<\/b><\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Points to: the IP address<\/b><\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
TTL: the preferred or the default value<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>
