Point a .br domain from Registro.br to Hostinger by adding the domain to your hosting plan, copying its Hostinger nameservers, and changing the DNS servers for the domain in your Registro.br account. Registro.br requires the domain to have an active DNS zone, so add it to your hosting plan before changing the nameservers.
Step 1 – Preparations
Before pointing the domain, ensure that:
- You have full ownership and control of the domain name you want to connect to your website at Hostinger.
- You have access to the registro.br platform to manage the domain’s settings.
- The domain is already added to your hosting plan, so it has the active DNS zone that Registro.br requires. See How to add a website in Hostinger.
Step 2 – Get the required nameservers
Once the domain is added to your hosting plan:
-
Go to the Websites section of Hostinger dashboard.
-
Find your website in the list and click Connect in the Connect your domain message on the website preview:
-
The nameserver values required for your domain appear and look similar to this:
-
Use the copy button to copy each nameserver and paste it into the Registro.br platform in the next step.
NOTES
- The nameserver values provided in this step may vary depending on the domain. Always use the exact ones shown in your panel. This procedure also applies for pointing domain to Hostinger AI Builder.
- For cPanel hosting plans, follow How to point a domain from Registro.BR to Hostinger cPanel instead.
- To keep Registro.br nameservers and add individual DNS records instead, follow How to manage the Registro.br DNS zone for Hostinger domains.
Step 3 – Delegate the domain
-
Log in to your Registro.br account, and select your domain:
-
Scroll down to the DNS section and click on Change DNS servers (Alterar servidores DNS):
-
Enter the Hostinger nameservers from the previous step.
-
Click on Save changes (Salvar alterações):
If you get a Query refused error (Pesquisa recusada), reset your domain’s DNS zone, wait a couple of minutes, and try pointing the domain again. For other causes of this error, see How to fix the “Query refused” error at Registro.br.
Step 4 – Confirm the changes
On the Point your domain to Hostinger page, click I’ve updated Nameservers.
Now, allow up to 24 hours for DNS propagation. During this time, your website may be temporarily unavailable. Meanwhile, you can continue using the temporary domain to access your site. For domains registered with other providers, see How to point a domain to Hostinger.
To manage the domain at Hostinger instead of only pointing it, transfer your .br domain to Hostinger. A .br transfer requires changing the service provider to HSTDOMAINS (127) in Registro.br, as described in How to transfer a .br domain to Hostinger.
