Learning step-by-step to point domain from NameCheap to Hostgator

Log in to your NameCheap account. I guess you’ve already purchased the domain name. If not, then you can still purchase it here. Your account will be created during the purchase of the domain itself.

Click on the domain name you want to point.

Click “Domain Name Server Setup”, and on the next page, add the hosting nameserver details you’ve got from HostGator.

You can get the nameserver details either in the Welcome email that you got from Hostgator or else log in to your cPanel and on the left-hand side you can see the nameservers and the IP address. Grab them and update your NameCheap account nameserver details.
