Whether you are transferring a domain to Hostinger or redirecting it from MilesWeb, knowing how to manage DNSSEC will keep your website secure and trustworthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this tutorial, we explain how to manage DNSSEC records on Hostinger and cover some specific configuration issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is DNSSEC Used For And Its Significance?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>DNSSEC enables every DNS record to have a corresponding digital signature, thus providing proof of authenticity and safeguarding against forgery for responses to DNS queries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;In case you need high security, then you must activate DNSSEC. It will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Eliminate DNS Spoofing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increase trust associated with a domain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enhance security for users attempting to access the website.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Steps Of Using DNSSEC at Hostinger<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the event that your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.co.uk\/domains\/\">domain is hosted with MilesWeb<\/a> but your DNS is handled through Hostinger, follow this guide to set DNSSEC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Sign in To Hostinger And Open The DNS Zone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Navigate to your Hostinger account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on the Domains tab.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pick the domain you want to update DNSSEC.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1170\" height=\"470\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.co.uk\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/open-the-dns-zone.png\" alt=\"open-the-dns-zone\" class=\"wp-image-17028\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Then go to the DNS\/Nameservers or DNS Zone editor section.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"263\" height=\"254\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.co.uk\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/dns-zone-editor-section.png\" alt=\"dns-zone-editor-section\" class=\"wp-image-17030\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Tip:<\/em><\/strong> Confirm that your domain is using Hostinger nameservers. It is crucial that the nameservers support DNSSEC if you want to make use of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Enable DNSSEC<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Look for the tab or option that lists DNSSEC.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"802\" height=\"290\" src=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.co.uk\/hosting-faqs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/dnssec-lists-tab.png\" alt=\"dnssec-lists-tab\" class=\"wp-image-17033\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If it appears, toggle DNSSEC ON or click Enable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Hostinger will automatically create the following DNSSEC parameters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Key Tag<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Algorithm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Digest Type<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Digest<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> You need these values to configure DNSSEC at your registrar (in case it is hosted elsewhere).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Update Registrar (If Necessary)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Optional: If your domain is with another registrar, such as MilesWeb, you can log into your MilesWeb Client Area, and then:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to Domains &gt; Manage Domain &gt; DNSSEC Management.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create a new DNSSEC record with values supplied by Hostinger.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong> Pay special attention to the Key Tag and Algorithm. Incorrect values can damage DNS resolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Should You Use DNSSEC?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>When controlling your domain&#8217;s records at a separate DNS host than the registrar, use DNSSEC.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You manage online stores or apps that deal with confidential information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You are trying to enhance your SEO by making the website more secure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DNSSEC, or Domain Name System Security Extensions, is an important part of securing your domain because it prevents spoofed DNS data and man-in-the-middle activities.
