Hi! It looks like you’re having issues accessing n8n after changing your domain on Hostinger VPS. This is a common issue that happens when the domain configuration doesn’t match the actual setup.

Here are the key steps to fix this:

• **Check your DNS settings** - Make sure your custom domain is properly pointing to your VPS IP address in Hostinger’s DNS management

• **Update n8n configuration** - SSH into your VPS and update the `WEBHOOK_URL` and `N8N_HOST` environment variables in your n8n configuration file to match your new domain

• **Restart n8n service** - After updating the config, restart the n8n service with `sudo systemctl restart n8n`

• **Verify SSL certificate** - If using HTTPS, ensure your SSL certificate is valid for the new domain

If you’re still locked out, try accessing n8n using your VPS IP address directly (http://YOUR_VPS_IP:5678) to regain access and fix the configuration from there.

Can you share the specific error message you’re seeing and confirm which domain setup steps you’ve already completed?
