how to use godaddy domain in hostinger
To use your GoDaddy domain with Hostinger hosting, you need to point your domain to Hostinger’s servers. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
🔧 Step 1: Get Hostinger’s Nameservers
- Log in to your Hostinger account.
- Go to Websites > Manage next to the site you’re setting up.
- Scroll to Nameservers or find it under Accounts Details.
- You’ll see something like:
ns1.dns-parking.com ns2.dns-parking.com
🌐 Step 2: Update Nameservers in GoDaddy
- Log in to your GoDaddy account.
- Go to Domains > click the domain name you want to use.
- Scroll to Nameservers and click Change.
- Choose Enter my own nameservers (advanced).
- Paste the two Hostinger nameservers:
ns1.dns-parking.com ns2.dns-parking.com
- Click Save.
⏳ Step 3: Wait for DNS Propagation
- DNS changes can take up to 24–48 hours to fully propagate worldwide.
- During this time, your site might be temporarily unreachable.
✅ Step 4: Connect Domain in Hostinger
- Go back to Hostinger’s Dashboard.
- Go to Websites > Add Website if you haven’t done so.
- Enter your GoDaddy domain when prompted.
- Finish the setup (CMS install, email, SSL, etc.).
🔍 Optional: Verify with DNS Tools
Use a free tool like https://dnschecker.org to confirm your domain now points to the correct Hostinger nameservers.
