Easy Tech TutsHow to Set Up Cloudflare CDN With Hostinger Easily 2026
By Impran M N
Hostinger sites can get an extra speed and security boost by routing through Cloudflare's CDN, but you'll need to coordinate settings between both platforms. This guide covers copying your server IP, importing DNS records, and updating your nameservers inside Hostinger's hPanel.
01Copy your Hostinger server IP
Open your Hostinger hPanel dashboard and copy your primary website IP address.
02Add your site to Cloudflare
In Cloudflare, click 'Add a Site' and enter your active domain name.
03Run the automated DNS scan
Select the free service tier and let Cloudflare scan and import your existing records.
04Verify imported records
Review the imported A and MX records to make sure they match your Hostinger setup exactly.
05Update nameservers in Hostinger
Copy your assigned Cloudflare nameservers, paste them into Hostinger's domain settings, and run a live check to confirm successful edge routing.
Frequently asked questions
Will this break my Hostinger email if I use Google Workspace or similar?
As long as your MX records are correctly imported and kept on DNS Only mode, third-party email services should keep working after the switch.
Should I disable Hostinger's own CDN if I use Cloudflare's?
Running two CDNs at once can cause conflicts or diminishing returns, so it's generally best to disable one and rely on the other.
How long does it take for Cloudflare to become active after updating Hostinger's nameservers?
It typically ranges from a few minutes to several hours depending on propagation, though Cloudflare's dashboard will confirm once it detects the change.
Do I need to change anything in my WordPress settings on Hostinger?
Not necessarily for basic CDN routing, though you may want to install Cloudflare's WordPress plugin separately for deeper cache integration.
