Step 5: Update the Domain (If Necessary)

• If the domain is still pointing to the old account, update the A record in your domain’s DNS settings to point to the new Hostinger server’s IP address.

After these steps, your website should be fully migrated to the second Hostinger account without transferring the domain.
