Website Builder: How to Change a Domain

Connecting another domain to a website created with Hostinger Website Builder

Updated over 3 months ago

If you use Hostinger Website Builder and want to connect a different domain to your site, you can do it in just a few clicks.

Before You Begin

If you've recently switched from another CMS to Hostinger Website Builder, you may not be able to change the domain yet.

Once you switch from another platform to the builder, you have 14 days to restore the original website built on another platform. During that time, you can't change the domain or delete the website. Instead, you may either:

  • Wait for the 14 days to be over, or

  • Click on Restore previous website, and you'll be able to change the domain right away

Also, note that by changing the domain of a website created with the builder, you'll lose all email data related to that domain, and your email plan will reset 🔄

Changing the Domain

Find the website in question in the Websites section. Then, click on the ellipsis ⋯ button and select Change domain:

Confirm you understand that all email data related to the domain will be deleted and click on Change:

Finally, choose the preferred domain to connect, and click on Change again. After changing the domain, your website will be up and running within 24 hours

Generally, once registered, a domain itself can't be changed or edited. In other words, you wouldn't be able to give up an already registered domain and register another one instead of that one. As an alternative, you may register a new domain separately.
