Cloudflare domain and hostinger hosting
Good day all. I have used Google and Youtube and either my search terms are not correct or there is no information on how to do this. All I have been able to find is how to transfer domains to Cloudflare. I dont think thats what I need.
I purchased my domain from Cloudflare, DOMAIN1.com
I purchased Hosting from "https://hostinger.com".
I want to use my Cloudflare domain so that it directs to the hosting company, HOSTINGER.COM. I dont know how to do it. I asked for help on the HOSTINGER.COM support chat, and they said:
Unfortunately, I dont know how to do this. I could assume, but I dont want to mess this up.
Any help would be appreciated.

I could assume, but I dont want to mess this upassume! the worst you'll do is f!uck it up for a couple of hours. you can't really permanently damage a domain, since its pretty much all dynamic
So far so good :). Seems I assumed and it’s working. Still waiting to see if I can access the site but at lease now I see an error page from the hosting company I didn’t see before :).
Didn’t work after all :(. Back to 0 it seems. I tried CNAME records but guess that didn’t work.
did you ever figure it out? im having the same problem lol
This issue is not specific to hostinger or Cloudflare
You just need to point “A” record to your domain
