Domain Pointing

Connect your domain to Hostinger so visitors reach your site.

Note: DNS changes can take up to 24–48 hours to propagate globally, though most take effect within a few hours.

Option 1: Update nameservers (recommended)

Delegates all DNS to Hostinger.

Hostinger now assigns unique nameservers per site — they are not the same for every account, so don't copy values from another guide. Always pull yours from hPanel before changing anything at your registrar:

1. In hPanel, open Websites and select your site.

2. Next to the temporary domain (or the "Domain not connected" notice), click Check guide.

3. Copy the two nameserver values shown.

Then at your registrar:

1. Log in to your domain registrar.

2. Open DNS or Nameserver settings.

3. Replace the existing nameservers with the values from hPanel.

4. Save.

If your domain is registered with Hostinger on the same account, nameservers are already configured — no action needed.

Option 2: A record only

Keep DNS at your registrar; only web traffic points to Hostinger.

1. In hPanel, open your website dashboard and copy your hosting IP.

2. At your registrar, add these records:

   Type

   Name

   Value

   A

   @

   Your Hostinger IP

   A

   www

   Your Hostinger IP

3. Wait for DNS to propagate (up to 48 hours).

Verify pointing

The IP should match your Hostinger server.

The Domains panel in hPanel shows pointing status — green means correctly pointed.

Multiple domains

One hosting account can serve many domains:

• Primary — main domain for the website

• Addon — a separate website

• Parked — redirects to the primary
