I have a domain purchased on hostinger. I am also using their email hosting so there are DNS records for the email that are important. appwrite sites wants me to use their name servers instead of the hostinger ones.

What would be the best way to resolve this issue? bring the current hostinger domain records into the appwrite name servers? or let hostinger's name servers manage the domain and add a record to point to appwrite site's ip address somehow?

I just want email and a website on the same domain.

TL;DR
User successfully set up hosting email using hostinger's tool and duplicated required DNS settings on another name server.

I did the latter, I set a CNAME record on my DNS provider to point to the appwrite sites domain. But it's really up to you, both methods will work. You can move the mx record to appwrite dns.

ah interesting.

So you just added CNAME * to appwrite.network?

I wonder if appwrite dns is a smidge faster on first load?

Mmmm I think Appwrite dns is just a front for something else. I use cloudflare dns and notice no significant slowness

I managed to get this working using hostinger's tool to connect a domain to their email hosting. It shows the expected dns records and what is currently being pulled so it is pretty easy to duplicate those settings on another name server.
