If you have purchased a domain at Hostinger and want to link it to a website created in Canva, follow these steps:<\/p>

\n<\/p>

Step 1 — Preparations<\/h2>

To connect your domain, Canva requires you to add a unique TXT record. Follow these steps to obtain the required value:<\/p>

    \n
  1. \n

    Log in to your Canva account and navigate to the Domain Settings<\/a> page.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Locate the value on the Add TXT record<\/b> section:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      Record type<\/b>: TXT<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    2. \n

      Name<\/b>: _canva-domain-verify<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    3. \n

      Value<\/b>: Use the value under Value \/ Points to<\/b>
      ​<\/p>\n

      <\/div>\n

      \n<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n

    4. \n

      Save these details (e.g., in a text file) for easy reference in the next step.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>

      \n<\/p>

      Step 2 — Add Canva records<\/h2>

      Access your domain’s DNS zone editor<\/a><\/b> on hPanel and follow these steps:<\/p>

        \n
      1. \n

        Remove conflicting records:<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. \n

          Delete all the existing A records<\/a> and AAAA records for @<\/b> (the root domain), if there are any. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        2. \n

          Delete the existing CNAME record for www<\/b>.
          ​<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n

        3. \n

          Add the TXT record using the values obtained from Canva on the previous step:<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. \n

            Host<\/b>: _canva-domain-verify<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          2. \n

            Points to<\/b>: The value provided by Canva<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          3. \n

            TTL<\/b>: Leave the default value
            ​<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n

          4. \n

            Add the required A records:<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>

            \n\n\n\n\n\n
            \n

            Type<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

            		\n

            Host<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

            		\n

            Points to<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

            		\n

            TTL<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

            \n

            A<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

            		\n

            @<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

            		\n

            103.169.142.0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

            		\n

            Default<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

            \n

            A<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

            		\n

            www<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

            		\n

            103.169.142.0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

            		\n

            Default<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>

            After saving these changes, allow up to 24 hours for the DNS settings to propagate<\/a> before proceeding to the next step.<\/p>

            \n<\/p>

            Step 3 — Verify the connection<\/h2>

            Once propagation is complete:<\/p>

              \n
            1. \n

              Log in to your Canva account.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            2. \n

              Go to the Domain Settings<\/a> page and confirm that all three records appear as Connected<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>

              That’s it! Your domain is now successfully pointing to your Canva website.<\/p>
