*Step-by-Step Guide:*

1. **Log in to Hostinger Dashboard:** Begin by logging in to your Hostinger account dashboard. Once logged in, navigate to the section where you manage your domains.

2. **Access DNS Zone Editor:** In the domain management section, locate the domain for which you want to add DNS entries. Look for an option like "DNS Management," "DNS Zone Editor," or "Advanced DNS" and click on it to access your domain's DNS settings.

3. **Understand DNS Entries:** Before adding DNS entries, it's essential to understand the various types of DNS records and their purposes. Common DNS record types include A records (IPv4 address), AAAA records (IPv6 address), CNAME records (alias), MX records (mail exchange), TXT records (text), and more.

4. **Add New DNS Entry:** To add a new DNS entry, find the option to "Add Record" or "Add DNS Entry." Click on this option to proceed.

5. **Select Record Type:** Choose the type of DNS record you want to add from the dropdown menu. Depending on your requirements, select the appropriate record type, such as A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, etc.

6. **Enter Record Details:** In the fields provided, enter the details for your DNS record based on the selected record type. Each DNS record type has specific fields to fill out, including:
- **Name/Host:** Specify the domain or subdomain to which the DNS record applies. Leave it blank for the root domain.
- **TTL (Time to Live):** Set the TTL value for the record. This determines how long DNS servers should cache the record before checking for updates.
- **Record Value/Target:** Enter the corresponding value or target for the DNS record. This could be an IP address, domain name, mail server hostname, or text value, depending on the record type.

7. **Save Changes:** Once you've entered the details for your DNS record, save your changes. Look for a "Save" or "Update" button to apply the new DNS entry to your domain.

8. **Verify DNS Entry:** After saving the DNS entry, it's crucial to verify that it's been added correctly. Use online DNS lookup tools or command-line tools like nslookup to check the DNS entry's presence and content.

9. **Propagation:** Keep in mind that DNS changes may take some time to propagate across the internet. Be patient, and allow up to 24-48 hours for the changes to take effect globally.

10. **Manage Additional DNS Entries:** Repeat the above steps as needed to add additional DNS entries for your domain. You can configure multiple DNS records to suit your specific requirements, such as adding MX records for email servers, CNAME records for subdomains, and TXT records for various purposes.

By following this comprehensive guide, you can confidently add DNS entries to your Hostinger domain in 2024.
