Point an existing domain to Hostiko hosting

If you bought your domain elsewhere (e.g. GoDaddy, KENIC direct, or another Kenyan host), you need to update its nameservers to point at Hostiko.

Hostiko nameservers

ns5.hostiko.co.ke
ns6.hostiko.co.ke

Step-by-step

1. Log into the panel of your current domain registrar.
2. Find "Nameservers" or "DNS Management" or "Custom Nameservers" — terminology varies.
3. Remove the existing nameservers.
4. Add ns5.hostiko.co.ke and ns6.hostiko.co.ke.
5. Save.

How long does it take?

DNS propagation is typically:

• 15 minutes for .co.ke (KENIC propagates fast)
• 1-4 hours for .com, .net, .org
• Up to 24 hours for rare TLDs

Verify it worked

Use our free DNS lookup tool — query your domain's NS records. You should see ns5.hostiko.co.ke and ns6.hostiko.co.ke.
