Connecting a Domain
发布时间:2026-11-09 | 浏览:1
Point your domain to Hostinger so visitors can reach your site.
Note: DNS changes can take up to 24–48 hours to propagate globally, though most take effect within a few hours.
Method 1: Update nameservers (recommended)
Delegates all DNS to Hostinger. Best for most cases.
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:
In hPanel, open Websites and select your site.
In hPanel, open Websites and select your site.
Next to the temporary domain (or the "Domain not connected" notice), click Check guide .

Replace the existing nameservers with the values from hPanel.

If your domain is registered with Hostinger on the same account, nameservers are already configured — no action needed.
Method 2: A record only
Keep DNS at your current registrar and only point web traffic to Hostinger.
In hPanel, open your website dashboard and copy your hosting IP.

At your registrar, add these records: Type Name Value A @ Your Hostinger IP A www Your Hostinger IP
