Add a DNS zone (for external domain)

This guide explains how to order a DNS zone from Infomaniak.

 

Preamble

  • Having the DNS zone with Infomaniak is useful if your domain name is registered elsewhere (third-party provider/registrar) and you want to easily link this domain with Infomaniak products.
  • Indeed, it is not enough to own a site domain.xyz with Infomaniak and to indicate the 2 DNS addresses of Infomaniak with the domain name registrar (if it is not Infomaniak) for the site to be displayed when you type domain.xyz in a browser.
  • You must add a DNS zone in the same place as the hosting to make the site work easily.
  • This will also be particularly useful if the service provider managing your domain name does not offer DNS zone management.
