Log in to your domain registrar&rsquo;s website<br>\n2. Look for the DNS management section<br>\n3. Locate the option to change your domain&rsquo;s nameservers<br>\n4. Enter the new nameserver information provided by your web host or DNS provider<br>\n5. Save the changes and allow time for the DNS changes to propagate<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/p><p>Keep in mind that the exact process for changing nameservers may vary depending on your domain registrar. We&rsquo;ll guide you through the procedures at different providers.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-change-nameservers-for-a-domain\">Why Change Nameservers for a Domain<\/h2><p>One of the main reasons for changing nameservers is the switch to a different hosting provider.<\/p><p>For example, if you&rsquo;ve just moved your site to another hosting provider, the domain name might still be tied to the old hosting company and will not direct visitors to your website.<\/p><p>    <div class=\"mb-50 mt-50 domain-checker domain-checker__bg\">\n        <h3 class=\"m-0 text-center text-white pb-10\">Domain Name Checker<\/h3>\n        <p class=\"pb-40 text-center text-white\">Instantly check domain name availability.<\/p>\n        <form id=\"domain-checker-form\" class=\"d-flex w-100 position-relative flex-column flex-sm-row align-items-center\" action=\"\/ph\/domain-checker\">\n            <input\n                    class=\"domain-checker__input label text-light-black\"\n                    name=\"domain\" type=\"text\"\n                    placeholder=\"Enter your desired domain name\"\n                    value=\"\"\n            \/>\n            <input id=\"domain-submit\"\n                   type=\"submit\"\n                   value=\"Check\"\n                   class=\"domain-checker__button hb--danger new-h-button-primary button text-white float-right\"\/>\n        <\/form>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<\/p><p>In this case, the domain name will need to be connected to the new web host. To do so, you have several options:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Change nameservers.<\/strong> The recommended method is to <a href=\"\/ph\/tutorials\/how-to-point-domain-to-hostinger\">change the domain&rsquo;s nameservers<\/a>. This method transfers the domain&rsquo;s DNS control to the new hosting provider without changing the registrar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"\/ph\/transfer-domain\">Transfer domain<\/a>.<\/strong> The second option is to transfer the domain from the current hosting provider to the new one. Domain transfers are most beneficial for users that want to manage everything in one place. Domain transfers might include additional charges as <a href=\"\/ph\/tutorials\/how-to-renew-domain-name\">the domain may renew <\/a>for another year. While the transfer price depends on the TLD, it typically costs around <strong>$15<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Update the domain&rsquo;s DNS A record.<\/strong> While this method may seem the simplest, we don&rsquo;t recommend it. While the nameservers method will move all the necessary <a href=\"\/ph\/tutorials\/what-is-dns\">DNS records<\/a>, the A record method will only change the A records. All other records, such as MX or TXT, will stay unchanged and won&rsquo;t work at the new host.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p><div class=\"protip\">\n                    <h4 class=\"title\">Pro Tip<\/h4>\n                    <p>Make sure to check that your <a href=\"\/ph\/tutorials\/how-to-check-if-domain-a-record-is-pointed-correctly\">domain's A records are pointing correctly<\/a> after changing the nameservers.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-change-nameservers-at-different-provider\">How to Change Nameservers at Different Provider<\/h2><p>To change domain nameservers, follow the two main steps:<\/p><ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Get the new nameserver values.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apply the new nameserver values.<\/li>\n<\/ol><p>Let&rsquo;s cover them one by one.<\/p><p>First, find a list of nameservers from the new hosting provider. This information is usually provided on the company&rsquo;s documentation or in the post-purchase email. Contact your current hosting provider&rsquo;s customer support team to help find the information if you need help.<\/p><p>For example, users can find the Hostinger nameservers on the <strong>Plan Details<\/strong> page in hPanel:<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"\/tutorials\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/The-details-page-on-Hostinger_s-hPanel.-Nameservers-section-is-shown.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"376\" src=\"\/tutorials\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/11\/The-details-page-on-Hostinger_s-hPanel.-Nameservers-section-is-shown-1024x376.png\" alt=\"The details page on Hostinger's hPanel.

Please take note of all nameservers because you will need to enter them into the domain registrar&rsquo;s control panel.<\/p><p>Keep in mind that some web hosts require IP addresses for nameservers, too. Thus, we recommend noting down IP addresses as well.<\/p><p>The next step is to apply new nameservers. While registrar interfaces may differ, the whole process is quite similar and goes like this:<\/p><ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Log in to your <a href=\"\/ph\/domain-name-search\">domain registrar<\/a>. In other words, this is the place where you bought the domain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Look for the option to set the domain&rsquo;s nameservers. Usually, you can find the needed settings in <strong>Domain Management<\/strong> or <strong>Domain Overview<\/strong> sections. From there, look for a button to <strong>Edit<\/strong> or <strong>Manage<\/strong> nameservers. You should see several fields, such as <strong>Nameserver 1<\/strong> and <strong>Nameserver 2<\/strong>, that will most likely be filled with your current hosting provider&rsquo;s default nameservers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Delete any existing old nameservers and enter the new settings into the appropriate fields. For example, a nameserver that starts with <strong>ns1<\/strong> should be filled into the<strong> Nameserver 1 <\/strong>field. The same process applies to <strong>ns2<\/strong>, <strong>ns3<\/strong>, or <strong>ns4<\/strong> records.<\/li>\n<\/ol><p>Here are a few extra tips about nameservers and their management:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If the hosting provider only gives two nameservers and the registrar provides you with four or more fields, enter the new nameservers into the <strong>first two fields<\/strong>, leaving the other ones empty.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the hosting provider has three or more<strong> <\/strong>nameservers, while the registrar only allows to enter two, use the <strong>first two nameservers<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>Check the following section to find nameserver management instructions for the most popular hosting providers. If your provider is missing from the list, look for the registrar&rsquo;s <strong>Help<\/strong> or <strong>FAQ<\/strong> page. Alternatively, ask customer support to add the new nameservers.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-changing-nameservers-in-hostinger\">Changing Nameservers in Hostinger<\/h3><p>At Hostinger,
