Custom domain: CNAME with Hostinger

At a glance
The community member is trying to link a custom domain to their project, but the automatic configuration is failing. They are setting it up manually, but Hostinger is creating an ALIAS instead of the requested CNAME. The community member contacted Hostinger support, who assured them that the ALIAS is treated like a CNAME. However, the community member is still receiving an error in Webstudio stating that the "custom hostname does not CNAME to this zone." The community members have provided a link to Webstudio documentation, but there is no explicitly marked answer.

Hi, I’m trying to link a custom domain to my project. The automatic configuration keeps failing, so I’m setting it up manually. However, Hostinger doesn’t allow me to add the requested CNAME and instead creates an ALIAS. I contacted their support, and they assured me that this ALIAS is actually treated like a CNAME. Despite this, I’m receiving the following error in Webstudio: “custom hostname does not CNAME to this zone.”

Could you please help me to clarify on which side I need to resolve this issue?
