By Impran M N
If you bought your domain through Squarespace but want to host your site on Hostinger, you don't need to buy a new domain — you just need to update your nameservers. This guide covers accessing Squarespace's DNS settings, pointing to Hostinger, and verifying the connection.
01Access Squarespace DNS settings
Log in to Squarespace and open your domain's DNS settings, where nameservers are managed.
02Find your Hostinger nameservers
Log in to Hostinger and locate the nameserver addresses you'll need to point your domain to.
03Update nameservers in Squarespace
Replace the existing nameservers in your Squarespace domain settings with the Hostinger nameservers you found.
04Verify the connection
Check that your domain is successfully pointing to Hostinger — this can take some time as DNS changes propagate.
05Enable SSL
Once verified, enable SSL on Hostinger so your website loads securely over HTTPS.
