# How to add a new DNS record to your Hostinger account

One of the steps needed in order to set up one instance is for you (our Subscriber) to add a new DNS record to their domain. You can learn more about DNS [here.](https://docs.cloud68.co/books/domain-name-system-dns)

To change the DNS on your [Hostiger](https://hostiger.com/) account, please follow these steps:

1. #### Log into your Hostinger account (if you are not logged in already).
2. #### Click on domain and locate the domain you wish to add the new record (in case you have more than 1 domain).
3. #### Click the arrow on the right of the domain.
4. #### Right on top of DNS/Nameservers, you will see the domain nameservers, and below it, a section to choose between configuring DNS records, Child nameservers or DNSSEC. Click DNS records.
5. #### Select the DNS record type, type into the Name field the information we have/will provide on the email. We refer to this as Host on our email. On the "Points to" field, paste the info provided on the email.
6. #### Click Add record.

Once these settings have been saved, you have successfully changed the DNS records for your domain. These changes may take 1 - 4 hours to propagate throughout the web.

You can use this site, [https://www.whatsmydns.net/](https://www.whatsmydns.net/) \* to check the propagation of your newly added DNS record. Please be careful to select the appropriate record type.
