How to Point Domain Name to Another Hosting (NameCheap to GoDaddy / HostPapa)

How to Point Domain Name to Another Hosting (NameCheap to GoDaddy / HostPapa)

I’ll show you how to change a domain name server in Namecheap to point your domain to another hosting provider. Go to Namecheap 👉 https://punchsalad.com/lp/namecheap-domain

I will use Godaddy & HostPapa as examples. But the process is the same on any other hosting provider.

Please note that we are not transferring the domain, we are just pointing it to the external hosting provider by changing nameservers.

The process for this is a bit backward.
1. We are going to first create a new addon domain in your hostings cPanel, this is actually just a placeholder and it won’t work until you point the nameservers from NameCheap to it.

2. Then, we will check the nameserver name on your hosting

3. and only then we will update nameservers in NameCheap

4. Lastly, I’ll show you how to add a bit of HTML so you can see if your nameservers are correctly configured

    Very clear brother! That is what I need. I am trying to buy a domain from government domain provider service like ( domainname.com.[countrycode] ). but my country is​ a Developing country I can not manage the domain or buy it on online system. I have to submit form to buy or change everything. In the application form required : Nameserver 1, Ip 1, Nameserver 2, Ip 2. Nameserver 1 and 2 I can find. But what is ip 1 and ip 2 ? I just have only one ip address of my hosting

    Cause you answer me why my domain did not pop up in file manger? Public_html I pressed it
    But CGI-bin popped out underneath it .. that’s they only file that was done yesterday the same time I thought I was doing the transfer I’m so frustrated 🥴 … do you know what I did wrong ? The customer service from namecheap says the domain is on the go daddy server but when I watch your video the things aren’t matching up



  22. The_FleeMan on February 7, 2022 at 10:30 pm

    Hi, I followed everything step by step, but namecheap keeps saying,"Oops, something went wrong. Please try again." every time I add the nameservers. I though I just had to wait( waited a day ), but still giving me the same problem. What do you think it could be?



  23. Retro Gamer on February 7, 2022 at 10:32 pm

    Hello sir, I want to ask one question that I purchased domain name from godaddy & want to host my website on infinityfree.net & use cloudflare ssl, My domain name provider provides one IP which is different from IP provided by Hosting provider, also all three domain provider, hosting provider & clouldflare provide nameservers, so which name servers should point at what?? website is ourcreativestore.com

    a lot of random skits that try to be funny but somehow throws a wrench to the flow of your content because their either funny but irrevelant, or revelant but just not funny.
    sophisticated modern timeflow of video, then chops to old ancient clips of shows.

    your better off honing your instructable lessons, then playing stand up comedian.
    find your true style, as appose to trying to apeace this hungry hyanas of an audience. people will always be desatisfied. i’m one of them, but I give you feedback atleaset.
