Troubleshooting Domain - Website Linking Issues
To get your website back online:
- Check the DNS zone of your domain name, especially its A records.
- Correct them if necessary by indicating the IP address of your hosting.

To do this, the easiest way is to use the Infomaniak DNS Diagnostic tool to automatically correct the settings, by grouping the products into the same Organisation if necessary.
