Where to find your Hostinger nameservers

Locate the specific nameservers required to point a domain to your Hostinger services

Updated 4 days ago

To point your domain to Hostinger, you can update your nameservers or change specific DNS records (A, CNAME, MX, etc.). Using nameservers is the most common method as it automatically updates all necessary DNS records for both your websites and email. This guide helps you find the specific nameserver values for you to use, as they can differ depending on the hosting type and the individual domain.

Web, cloud and Agency hosting nameservers

For domains registered at Hostinger, the nameservers are set up automatically. Ensure the domain is added to your hosting plan beforehand. For domains registered elsewhere, use one of the following options to find your nameservers:

Option 1 – During domain connection

After creating a website using a temporary domain, including websites created with Hostinger Horizons and Hostinger Website Builder, you can connect a custom domain at any time.

  1. Go to hPanel → Websites
  2. Locate your website and click on Connect domain.
  3. The specific nameservers for your domain will be provided during the connection process.

NOTE

  • Nameservers are not displayed for temporary domains because their DNS records cannot be managed directly.

Option 2 – From hPanel

For PHP, HTML and Node.js websites, follow these steps:

  1. Go to hPanel → Websites.
  2. Click on Dashboard next to your domain name.
    1. For web and cloud hosting, select Hosting plan → Plan Details on the left sidebar.
    2. For Agency hosting, select Plan Details directly on the left sidebar.
  3. On the Plan Details page, locate the Nameservers card to get your exact values.

Nameservers may vary by domain; always use the exact values shown in your hPanel.

VPS hosting nameservers

Domains registered at Hostinger will be automatically assigned nameservers to work with Hostinger VPS. For domains registered with external providers, follow these steps:

  1. Go to hPanel → VPS
  2. Click on Manage next to your server.
  3. Select DNS Manager from the left sidebar.
  4. The assigned nameservers will be displayed in the domain list.

NOTE

  • To set up custom nameservers for your VPS, refer to your operating system template documentation on DNS zone creation and configuration.

cPanel hosting nameservers

If you use a legacy cPanel hosting plan, follow these steps to locate your nameservers:

  1. Go to the hPanel home page.
  2. Click on the Manage button next to your cPanel plan.
  3. Scroll down on the Hosting Dashboard page to find the Nameservers and IP address section.

Update your domain’s nameservers to cPanel values:

  • For domains registered at Hostinger, refer to this guide: How to change nameservers at Hostinger.
  • For domains registered elsewhere, log in to your registrar’s control panel to apply the changes.

Once you have located your nameservers, you can update them at your domain registrar if needed to finish connecting your site. DNS changes typically take up to 24 hours to propagate globally.
