Have a domain purchased on Namecheap and want to connect it to Hostinger hosting then don't worry in this tutorial we will see how to connect Namecheap domain to Hostinger.

Before proceeding you need to have:

• A Namecheap Domain if you don't have then go to Namecheap and get one.
• A Hostinger account, don't have one get it now by using Hostinger discount link, their most cheapest plan starts from $2.99 per month.

We will use the nameservers method to connect our domain from Namecheap to Hostinger so let's see step by step how to do it.

1. Add domain to Hostinger

• Login to your Hostinger panel.
• Go to websites section and click add website, If you have just purchased the hosting and did not add any website it will ask you at the starting to add a website the process is same.
• After clicking on create it will ask you what is your website type you can select accordingly.
• Next it will ask you if you want to create a new or migrate a website click on skip create an empty website.
• Now it will ask you to continue using existing domain or buy a new domain from Hostinger, since we are using Namecheap domain click on use an existing domain.

• It will show a input to enter your domain name so enter your domain name there eg: demo.com. and click continue.
• Now it will show you that you need to change your nameservers at Namecheap to following nameservers:
  • ns1.dns-parking.com
  • ns2.dns-parking.com

So till now we added the domain successfully to Hostinger but in your Hostinger panel it will show you domain not pointing to Hostinger now we just need to change the nameservers of our domain at Namecheap.
