Introduction
If your domain name is registered with Namecheap and your hosting service is with HostPeppy, you need to change your domain nameservers so your website can load from HostPeppy servers.
Updating nameservers allows your domain to communicate with your hosting provider. Once configured correctly, your website files, SSL certificate, DNS records, and email services will start working through HostPeppy hosting infrastructure.
This tutorial explains how to change Namecheap nameservers to HostPeppy nameservers in a simple and beginner-friendly way.
HostPeppy Nameservers
Use the following nameservers inside your Namecheap account:
- NS1.hostpeppy.in
- NS2.hostpeppy.in
Before You Begin
- Your HostPeppy hosting account should already be active.
- Add the domain to your hosting panel before updating DNS settings.
- DNS changes may require up to 24-48 hours to propagate globally.
- Temporary website downtime during propagation is normal.
Step 1: Login to Namecheap Account
Visit https://www.namecheap.com and sign in to your Namecheap account.
After login, you will be redirected to the Namecheap dashboard.
Step 2: Open Domain List
From the left-side menu, click on Domain List.
You will see all domains associated with your Namecheap account.
Find the domain you want to connect with HostPeppy hosting and click on the Manage button.
Step 3: Open Nameserver Settings
Inside the domain management page, locate the Nameservers section.
By default, Namecheap usually uses BasicDNS or Namecheap default nameservers.
Click on the dropdown menu and select:
Custom DNS
Step 4: Enter HostPeppy Nameservers
Enter the following nameservers:
- NS1.hostpeppy.in
- NS2.hostpeppy.in
Ensure there are no spelling mistakes or extra spaces.
Click the green checkmark or save button to apply changes.
Step 5: Wait for DNS Propagation
After updating nameservers, the DNS records will start propagating globally.
In many cases, websites begin working within a few hours, but complete propagation may take up to 48 hours.
How to Check DNS Propagation
You can track DNS propagation status using online DNS lookup tools.
Recommended DNS checker:
Search your domain name and choose the NS record type.
If the results display:
- NS1.hostpeppy.in
- NS2.hostpeppy.in
then your domain is successfully pointed to HostPeppy hosting.
Common Issues and Troubleshooting
1. Domain Not Connecting
Wait for propagation to complete and clear browser cache before checking again.
2. SSL Certificate Not Active
SSL installation begins automatically after nameserver propagation completes.
3. Website Loading Old Hosting
This usually happens because your local ISP is still caching old DNS records.
4. Incorrect Nameserver Format
Verify the nameservers are entered exactly as:
- NS1.hostpeppy.in
- NS2.hostpeppy.in
