Buy a domain and keep your current hosting

You can register your domain with Horanos and keep your website and email with your current hosting provider. The domain then points to your provider's servers through its nameservers.

Before you start

Ask your hosting provider for their nameservers. They usually look like this: ns1.yourhost.com and ns2.yourhost.com.

Step by step

1. 01Open “Store → Register a New Domain”, search for your domain and click “Add to Cart”.
2. 02Do not add a hosting plan. Click “Checkout”.
3. 03On the “Domains Configuration” page, go to the “Nameservers” section. Replace the preset ns1.horanos.com and ns2.horanos.com with your provider's nameservers.
4. 04Click “Continue”, complete the order and pay the invoice.
5. 05Ask your hosting provider to add the domain to your hosting account, so that your website can be reached under it.

Already ordered?

If you kept our nameservers when ordering, you can change them at any time in the client area – see “How to change your domain nameservers (DNS)”.

Syrian domains (.sy / .سورية)

For Syrian domains, the nameservers are entered in the application form. Enter your provider's nameservers there and your provider's name as the hosting company – see “How to register a Syrian domain, step by step”.

How long does it take?

Once the nameservers are set, your website is usually reachable under the new domain within a few minutes to an hour; worldwide it can take up to 24 hours.

Need help?

If you are unsure which nameservers to enter, contact your hosting provider or our support team.
