◾ Locate the nameservers of your web hosting.

At Hostinger you can locate your nameservers in hPanel. If you’re using another web hosting provider then you might find information related to nameservers in the details or information section which is usually located in your web hosting dashboard. You’ll find two nameservers and you want to copy them both.

◾ Access the dashboard of your domain name provider.

Go to the dashboard of your domain name provider and go to the list of your domains. Locate the domain which you want to use with your web hosting.

◾ Replace the nameservers of your domain

The final step is to replace default nameservers with the ones you copied. Usually, you can find the nameservers of your domain in the settings section or in DNS management settings. Replace the nameservers and click save changes.

Domain propagation can take up to 24 hours. That’s basically how long it takes until the domain is fully pointing to your web hosting. Congratulations, now you know how to point domain!

    Thanks for this tutorial!
    Does changing the nameservers, as explained in your video, also take care of the email boxes on the old host ?
    Or does that need more actions to make sure the mails also can be received and send from new host please?

    How to change one hostinger account domain to another hostinger account



  8. Olav Trygvasson on December 8, 2021 at 1:29 pm

    Of course you are very good at this ect. But as a paying client of yours, a beginner in creating web site, it would be great if you could have made a video slower. Sure I could take down the tempo on YouTube. But hey! We pay! If you pay for learning beginner knitting at my grandma’s knitting site, and she just goes Full Speed because she can. For sure you wouldn’t cache up, and you might regret you brought those fresh baked cookies with you watching her go all the way finish before you got the first knots on.
