If you’ve registered a domain under Hostinger or another platform and are now looking to connect with Hostinger’s platform, this guide will help you quickly point your domain. Start managing your processes seamlessly with the easy-to-follow steps given below.
Step 1: Conduct a thorough Assessment Before Pointing Your Domain
- Gain control of the domain you’re planning to perform operations on.
- Ensure your domain is in active status.
- Access your domain service provider’s platform to conduct updates.
- Domain under Hostinger: Visit hPanel>Domains>Domain Portfolio>Manage>DNS/Nameservers.
- Domain registered elsewhere: Opt for DNS management tools under your domain service provider.
- Use tools to ensure DNSSEC is in the off state.
- Locate the hosting plan you’ve selected on the Hostinger platform.
Step 2: Find Nameservers under Your Hostinger Account
- Use authorized credentials to access your Hostinger account.
- Visit the Domains section in the Hostinger’s interface.
- Now, select the “Manage domain” option for which you want customization.
- Navigate to the “DNS/Nameservers” section to find the details.
- Locate Hostinger nameservers (Usually two or more).
- Accurately note down the nameservers for further operations.
Step 3: Access Your Domain Registrar’s Account
- Using your credentials, log into the authorized account on your domain provider’s platform (e.g., MilesWeb).
- Navigate to the “My Domains” option in the given interface.
- To begin your configuration process, visit the “Nameservers” option.
- You can proceed by locating the “Use custom nameservers” section in the interface.
- Save all updates after confirming their accuracy.
