Consolidating Your Domain And Hosting With Trustname

If you need to connect your Trustname domain to web hosting at Hostinger, all you need to do is add Hostinger's nameservers to your domain settings in Trustname.

You don't need to transfer your domain out of Trustname or use a third-party hosting service. By pointing your domain nameservers, you delegate management of your domain's DNS settings to the web host, who in turn, points all searches on your domain name to the right web server hosting your website content.

1. Log In To Your Trustname Account
  Visit the trusname.com website, click "Login" in the top right corner, and enter your login details. If you have two-factor authentication on, copy the time-based code from your authenticator app and paste it into the Trustname portal.
2. Head To Your Domain Settings
  Next, in the header section of the main page, click on the "Domains" dropdown and select "Registered domains" to access your domain list.
  Click on the domain whose nameservers you want to configure.
  You'll then be redirected to the domain management settings and contact details:
3. Access The Nameserver Settings
  Scroll down to the "Domain Nameservers" section to see your current domain nameservers.
  
  Click on the "Edit" button to configure your nameservers:
  Type in the nameserver addresses you copied from Hostinger and click "Save". That's it!

Nameserver Format

Domain nameservers follow the following format - ns1.hostingprovider.com and ns2.hostingprovider.com - a prefix, e.g., "ns1" and "ns2", which indicate the primary and secondary nameservers, respectively, followed by the domain name of the web host or DNS provider.

Once you have tweaked your nameservers on your Trustname domain, the changes will take 24-48 hours to propagate across the Internet.

If you already have email or custom DNS records set, you will need to re-configure them on Hostinger's side.

Confirming The Nameserver Connection

To confirm that the nameserver changes have been made, simply check your website to see that it's functioning properly, or use a DNS lookup tool like WhatsMyDNS - type in the domain name and select 'NS' from the dropdown to see that the nameservers are resolving globally.
