Add a DNS zone (for external domain)

Update 08/10/2026

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

 

Introduction

  • Having your DNS zone with Infomaniak is useful if your domain name is registered elsewhere (with a third-party provider/registrar) and you want to easily link this domain to Infomaniak products.
  • Indeed, simply having a domain.xyz website with Infomaniak and specifying the 2 Infomaniak DNS addresses with the domain name registrar (if it is not Infomaniak) is not enough for the website to be displayed when you type domain.xyz in a browser.
  • You must add a DNS zone in the same location as your hosting to ensure your website functions correctly.
  • This will also be particularly useful if the provider managing your domain name does not offer DNS zone management.
