This guide explains how to add a new domain name to a Web site Infomaniak.

Preamble

• When you add a new domain name to a Web site, it is referred to as a linked domain but also as an alias.
• In this case, an alias domain is an additional domain name, also linked to an existing site.
  • For the Web site domain.xyz to be reachable with a completely different domain name such as private.abc for example, you need to add private.abc as an alias to the Web site.
  • Second example, for the site domain.xyz to also be reachable with www.domain.xyz, you need to add it as an alias to the domain domain.xyz. In this example, domain.xyz is the parent site of the alias www.domain.xyz. Generally, the alias www is already added automatically and present…

Adding an alias to an existing site

Prerequisites

• If the domain name (intended to become an alias) or its DNS zone is managed by Infomaniak, everything is OK. If not:
  • The A record of the domain name must point to Infomaniak.
  • To simplify, you can delegate the management of the domain to Infomaniak.
• It is also necessary that the future alias is not already one, in which case it will be necessary to detach it from the current site beforehand (same if synonym).

To add an additional domain that will be linked to your Web site:

1. Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
2. Click directly on the name assigned to the product concerned:
   
3. Then click on the chevron ‍ to expand the Domains section of this site.
4. Click on the Add a domain button:
   
5. Enter the domain name(s) to be added, separated by the Enter.
6. If the alias or its DNS zone is managed by Infomaniak, it is possible to automatically update the DNS entries. Otherwise, make any necessary changes with your registrar or transfer the management of the domain name to Infomaniak.
7. If you have an SSL certificate like Let's Encrypt, for example, you can request to update it here to include the new names.
8. Click on Validate to complete the procedure:
