To connect your domain with Hostinger web hosting services, you must point the domain to your hosting plan based on your hosting type.
The recommended method is to use Hostinger nameservers. This allows you to manage your DNS zone entirely within Hostinger.
To change nameservers, log in to the domain provider's website from which you bought the domain.
For example, at Hostinger, this option is on the DNS / Nameservers page.
The process will be similar for other registrars, such as Cloudflare. On your Cloudflare account dashboard, look for a settings page related to nameservers.
Web and Cloud hosting plans
If you have a Web, WordPress (legacy), or Cloud hosting plan, use the following nameservers:
ns1.dns-parking.com
ns2.dns-parking.com
You can verify this information by navigating to the hPanel → Websites → Dashboard → Plan Details page:
Changing only the nameserver values is enough if your domain service provider doesn't need the nameserver IP addresses.
If your domain provider doesn't allow changing the nameservers, or if you prefer to keep your current nameservers, you can use an alternative method:
For websites created with the Hostinger Website Builder → point using CNAME records
For any other website types → point using the A record
VPS hosting
Whether you purchase your domain from Hostinger or elsewhere, the easiest way is to keep your current nameservers and point the domain to the IP address of your VPS using the A record.
You must manually set up the DNS zone on your VPS to create your own nameservers.
cPanel hosting
To verify nameservers for your domain, do the following:
Navigate to the hPanel home page.
Click on the Manage button next to your cPanel plan.
Scroll down on the Hosting Dashboard page to find the Nameservers and IP address section.
Alternatively, check the values by expanding the sections below 👇

If you are using a cPanel reseller (legacy) hosting plan, point your domain to the following nameservers:
ns1.boxsecured.com
ns2.boxsecured.com

Niagahoster
Niagahoster
If you are using a Niagahoster cPanel hosting plan, point your domain to the following nameservers:
ns1.niagahoster.com
ns2.niagahoster.com
Remember that after changing your domain's nameservers, you may experience temporary delays when visiting your website within the next 24 hours until DNS propagation is completed. This is a normal process, and most of the time, the update is much faster.
