How to Change Your Domain Nameservers to Hostinap

To connect a domain name purchased elsewhere to your Hostinap Shared Hosting account, you need to change the domain's Nameservers. This transfers DNS management to cPanel, allowing it to automatically configure your emails, subdomains, and AutoSSL certificates.

Hostinap's Nameservers

Check the Welcome Email you received when purchasing hosting for your specific nameservers. Generally, they are:

• Nameserver 1: ns1.hostinap.com
• Nameserver 2: ns2.hostinap.com

Important: The 24-48 Hour Wait

Once you click save at your registrar, your website will not load on Hostinap immediately. This is due to DNS Propagation. It takes time for internet providers globally to recognize the change. During this 24-48 hour window, your site may load inconsistently (working on your phone but not your laptop). This is completely normal — please be patient.
