Are you looking to change your Namecheap nameservers to point your domain to Hostinger? You’ve come to the right place! In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of updating your nameservers so that your domain can be correctly linked to your Hostinger hosting account.
Before we dive into the technical details, let’s first understand what nameservers are and why they are important. Nameservers are like the internet’s version of a phone book. They translate domain names (like www.yourwebsite.com) into IP addresses, which are unique identifiers for each website on the internet. By updating your nameservers, you are essentially telling the internet where to find your website’s files and data.
Now, let’s get started with the process of changing your Namecheap nameservers to point your domain to Hostinger:
Step 1: Log in to your Namecheap account
The first step is to log in to your Namecheap account. Once you’re logged in, you’ll see a list of your domains. Select the domain that you want to point to Hostinger.
Step 2: Access the Nameservers section
After selecting your domain, look for the “Nameservers” section in the domain management dashboard. Here, you’ll see the current nameservers that are associated with your domain.
Step 3: Update the nameservers
To change the nameservers, you’ll need to replace the existing nameservers with Hostinger’s nameservers. Hostinger’s nameservers are typically in the format of “ns1.hostinger.com”, “ns2.hostinger.com”, “ns3.hostinger.com”, and “ns4.hostinger.com”. Copy these nameservers from your Hostinger account or reach out to Hostinger’s support team for assistance.
Once you have the Hostinger nameservers, enter them into the nameserver fields provided by Namecheap. Make sure to save your changes.
Step 4: Wait for the changes to propagate
After updating the nameservers, it may take some time for the changes to propagate across the internet. This process, known as DNS propagation, can take anywhere from a few minutes to 48 hours. During this time, your website may experience downtime or inconsistencies in accessibility.
Step 5: Verify the nameserver update
To ensure that the nameserver update was successful, you can use online tools like “DNS Checker” to verify that your domain is now pointing to Hostinger’s nameservers. Simply enter your domain name
