To point your domain to systeme.io<\/a><\/b>, follow the steps below 👇 <\/p>

\n<\/p>

Step 1 – Create a Domain Redirect<\/h2>

With a Hosting Plan at Hostinger<\/h3>

If you have a hosting plan at Hostinger, add the domain<\/a><\/b> to your hosting plan. You can skip the onboarding process and create an empty website.<\/p>

\n<\/p>

Next, create an .htaccess file<\/a> <\/b>in the public_html <\/b>folder of the domain <\/b>and add the following code:<\/p>

\n<\/p>

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www. [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(?:www.)?(.+)$ [NC]<\/code><\/pre>
\n<\/p>
Make sure to save the changes<\/b>.<\/p>
\n<\/p>
Without a Hosting Plan at Hostinger<\/h3>
If you only have a domain (not a hosting plan), you can create the redirect with the help of Cloudflare<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>
\n<\/p>
Step 2 – Add Your Domain to systeme.io<\/h2>
Log into<\/b> your systeme.io<\/a><\/b> account, click on your profile picture, and select Settings<\/b>. Next, go to Custom domains <\/b>→ Add domain<\/b>.<\/p>
\n<\/p>
Enter your domain name in the following format:<\/p>
\n<\/p>
www.domain.tld<\/code><\/pre>
\n<\/p>
Then, save the changes<\/b>. You will obtain the values for two CNAME records<\/b> that you will need to add to your domain’s DNS zone. Keep this tab open or copy the records to a text editor before proceeding to the next step.<\/p>
\n<\/p>
Step 3 – Create CNAME Records<\/h2>
Access your domain’s DNS zone<\/b> and delete any existing A records<\/a><\/b>. Then, create the following CNAME records<\/a> <\/b>using the previously obtained values:<\/p>
\n\n\n\n\n
\n
CNAME 1<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n
\n
CNAME 2<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
Host<\/b>: www<\/p>\n
Points to<\/b>: the value of the first record<\/p>\n
TTL<\/b>: use the default value, e.g., 14400<\/p>\n<\/td>\n
\n
Host<\/b>: host of the second record<\/p>\n
Points to<\/b>: the value of the second record<\/p>\n
TTL<\/b>: use the default value, e.g., 14400<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>
