Verify your domain

Go back to your SendKit domain detail page and click Refresh. Hostinger DNS changes can take up to 30 minutes to propagate.
If verification doesn’t succeed immediately, wait a few minutes and try again. SendKit also checks automatically in the background.

Troubleshooting

Hostinger uses a default TTL of 14400 seconds (4 hours) for DNS records. While new records usually appear faster, full propagation can take up to 4 hours in some cases.
Make sure your domain is using Hostinger nameservers. If you’ve pointed your nameservers elsewhere, manage DNS at that provider instead.
