It would be helpful if you're specific. What do you need help with.
Tell us what you've done, what your question is
well so
i wanna host my domain on hostinger
they gave me some dns
ive changed it (i think i done it right)
and now i getError 1016 Ray ID: 8fc5fc3b9fb3f795 • 2025-01-03 21:12:08 UTC
Origin DNS error
What happened?
You've requested a page on a website (bloxyspin.com) that is on the Cloudflare network. Cloudflare is currently unable to resolve your requested domain (bloxyspin.com).
What can I do?
If you are a visitor of this website:
Please try again in a few minutes.
If you are the owner of this website:
Check your DNS settings. If you are using a CNAME origin record, make sure it is valid and resolvable. Additional troubleshooting information here.
I can see the Cloudflare NS on that domain. Have you added the needed records in the Dash?
yes, i added a root (@) record with NS to ns1.dns-parking.com just as hostinger told me. my dns are kinda a mess 😭
🙂 No worries. Let me look at those screenshots. There are tons of smart folks here, I'm sure people can get you sorted.
So are you wanting to use Cloudflare? Or /only/ Hostinger?
I'll tell you what I see. I see the Cloudflare NS in your 1st image.
Name Server: beau.ns.cloudflare.com Name Server: jean.ns.cloudflare.com
i don't really know what cloudflare does
i have once connected it
to get that
But, if you want to use Hostinger's DNS, you'd need to update like they've suggested with your registrar
robot security under attack
thingy
can i also do it on cloudflare? or doesn't that work
No, it can. I just wasn't sure what your end goal is. :). So, you can delete that NS record you added that you highlighted.
Then, the cname for the www, click edit, and make it "DNS Only" and let's see if it will work
uh i'm a bit lost
😭
so, do i delete the new one i just made?
thanks for your very good help
Yes, it doesn't need to be there if you want to use Cloudflare. So, the NS record you added and have highlighted in that screenshot 2; you can delete.
okay i have deleted it
what comes next?
All of the records in your Cloudflare Dash; I'm assuming they were automatically added or did you add them to the CF Dash yourself?
they were automatically added...
i don't even know what they do
No worries. I assumed they were added automatically.
Does the bloxyspin.onrender.com mean anything to you? The www record?
Does the bloxyspin.onrender.com mean anything to you? The www record?
i used to host it on render
i somehow manged to set it up
i just added some stuff
i wanna now switch to hostinger because render is too slow, very too slow...
Ok, perfect. So, in your Hostinger control panel.. Do you see records there?
you may mean this?
I do. 🙂 Perfect.
So, a couple things. 1) I'd take/save a screenshot of what you have in CF Dash now.. just incase you want to undo anything we do.
2) What I'm going to try and talk you through is a) removing the www record that is there. Then adding a root (@) A record, and changing the www record.
The IP address (92.113.19.231) is what we're going to use.
aha okay perfect thank you so so much
So, in CF Dash, click Add record. The Type is
A the name is @ and the IP is: 92.113.19.231 (from your screenshot). Let's start with the Proxy Status as "DNS Only".okay, does this look correct?
Looks good. Click Save, and let's give it a few minutes and see what happens.
saved 👍 i will update you...
I'm going to keep digging it on my end, so I should be able to see once this takes effect, then we'll figure out what to do next
thank you so so so so much
DNS over Discord: A records
bloxyspin.com A @9.9.9.9 +noall +answer
diggy diggy hole
So, you can see the record was added. Now soon-ish. You should either see a "Welcome to Hostinger" or some new failure mode
i only get a http error...
my browser cannot reatch the website
So, DNS could take a bit to propagate over the internet. What I am expect is.. once the DNS is live.. You should see some type of a webpage.
For example, if I go to that IP.. I see
So once the DNS propagation is complete... I would expect to see either that same error, or a "welcome new customer" page.. or, if you've already put your site there.. your site should load.
okay
i don't even think if i need it transfered

i just need the content from my hostinger free domain site to my domain... isn't there some other stuff i could do? l
Tons of other stuff you can do.
Default page
Default page
could i somehow
get the content from that site
to my domain on cloudflare?
Ok, in theory once DNS completes -- I would expect that exact webpage to load. That's kinda what I was meaning when I said a "welcome new customer".
I will say, if you wanted the 100% easiest way to manage your website, utilizing Hostinger's control panel. It would be easier for you, if you're a beginner. Unless you're wanting to learn cloudflare, then this is a good first step.
hmm
i'm a bit lost right now once again
😭
No no. Don't be lost, you're doing great.
okay
so what should i do now? wait until its done?
So, just so you know, we've kind of followed this guide: https://support.hostinger.com/en/articles/4741545-how-to-use-cloudflare
How to Use Cloudflare | Hostinger Help Center
Enable Cloudflare for free and protect your domain
Where to Find the A Record of Your Hosting Plan | Hostinger Help Ce...
Locating your hosting plan’s IP address in hPanel
And that one, confirms that what we just did, should work. We added that A record with the IP from your account dash/screenshot.
So, if you try your domain eventually you should see either the webpage you showed (from that longer hostinger link) or that 403.
okay
but how do i get my static site to there now? as it shows a 403
Oh, I don't know that bit. I've never used Hostinger. But, now... your "website" is connected to Hostinger.
It's hard for me to know what to tell you on the Hostinger portal, since I've never used it. That's why I was googling any guides they provide.
okay thanks
for me it still doesn't load
so i should wiat
wait
right?
i still get my browser could not connect
Well, your ISP could take longer to propagate. You could try it in Incognito mode.
But at this point, the only thing to do would be to wait. But, it doesn't explain why it's loading the 404 and not the (https://ghostwhite-rabbit-126133.hostingersite.com/) web page.
That's the part I will struggle in helping with; since, I've never used them I don't know where to tell you to look.

okay yeah i will wait then... 👍
Let me ask this. Do you know where you bought your domain and how to make changes there? I know this is a Cloudflare Discord. But, the easiest thing for you to do, might be to change away from the Cloudflare NameServers, use the hostinger ones they were prompting you to..
Then, you'll only need to "make any changes to your website" -- using their control panel.
Granted, you won't get the Cloudflare protections and whatnot... but, if you're learning, it might be the easiest thing for you to do.
i bought it on ifastnet...
my only problem is that they don't support websockets
ahhh, ok. I don't want to talk you out of the design you're going for.
But, let's say you wanted to setup a subdomain.. And you figure out how to do that in their portal, and say deploy a one-click wordpress site.
You will have to come back to Cloudflare and do additional changes...
Vs.. if you put their nameservers with your registrar..
It would be a "one click" thing. Their portal would make the DNS changes automatically..
okay
well
my plan: transfer the domain from ifastnet to hostinger
is that good?
I don't know anything about ifastnet. But, it seems like you're just starting out? Learning. It would 1) Give you one place for everything 2) If you had it with them and their NS's... it would just let you manage/use all of their one-click setup things.. (all in the same place)
update:
it worked
how:

It worked because we added that @ record with the IP for your Hostinger account.
yeah, thank you so much
would you maybe like a tip?
Ah, yea, it just loaded for me too and not the 403
i can send you 3$ over paypal
haha, no way.
don't have more
are you sure?

Glad you got it working. Neat site. 🙂 Have a good weekend!
thank you so much, i wish you a great and good weekend too!
love you

Also, if any IT people review this. My MTTR is <60 minutes. Not bad.. lol
wdym?
lol in IT, we measure start to finish. "Mean Time To Resolve".. I replied back to you at 15:13 and we had you all sorted out before 16:13.. lol I was just being silly
quick question
🙂 Sure
for some browsers it still shows a cannot reatch
is that normal?
Ish. It could take 24-48 hours technically to update across the internet. But, if it's only a few it's more likely their ISP or their DNS setup is caching longer than most.
I just loaded it again and still looks good to me. Additionally, you have an SSL cert. So, it looks fine to me.
thanks
all solved
works just fine
Just remember, if you get a survey... I was shooting for a 10/10. lol 🙂 Glad you got things fixed.
You get a 100% raise, from $0 to $0
Well deserved good sir/madam
Better than my day job, they charge me to work there.. lol.
