    Getting Started guide with hosting only

    This guide is for customers who have opted for hosting alone (Web and/or Email), and explains how to link an existing domain name to an Infomaniak hosting (Web and/or Email). It assumes that you already own a domain name with another domain name registrar than Infomaniak.

    If you are not used to working with DNS or you do not know the terms MX record or A Record, follow Procedure A. If necessary, follow Procedure B.

    A. For less experienced users

    If the registrar of your domain name does not let you configure the A record and the MX record or you are unsure how to enter these settings with your registrar, we recommend transferring the management of your domain name to Infomaniak or entrust us with the management of the DNS zone.

    Option 1: Entrusting us with the management of your domain name

    1. Open the Infomaniak admin console (https://manager.infomaniak.com/)
    2. Go to Domains & Hosting > Domains
    3. Click the blue Order a domain button
    4. Enter the domain name that you own in the search field and click the Search button
    5. Click the blue Next button
    6. At the bottom of the page that pops up, check the No Hosting box and Click the blue Next button
    7. Assign the different roles requested, then click on the blue Next button
    8. Insert the authorization code (help: www.infomaniak.ch/fr/support/faq/1814)
    9. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the process

    Option 2: Keeping your current registrar to manage your domain name

    1. Open the Infomaniak admin console (https://manager.infomaniak.com/)
    2. Go to Domains & Hosting > Domains
    3. Click the blue Order a domain button
    4. Enter the domain name that you own in the search field and click the Search button
    5. Click the blue Next button
    6. In the results list, next to your domain name, select 1 year - DNS zone management instead of 1 year, then click the blue Next button
    7. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the process

    Your hosting (Web and/or Email) should now be linked to your domain name.

    B. For experienced users


    Web Hosting

    To link your Iinfomaniak web hosting to your existing domain name:

    1. Open the Infomaniak admin console (https://manager.infomaniak.com/)
    2. Go to Domains & Hosting > Web Hosting > your-site.com
    3. In the gray box, below the product expiration date, click More information
    4. At the bottom of the page that pops up, under Server, note the IPv4 address (e.g. xx.xx.xx.xxx)
    5. Enter the IPv4 address previously noted under the A Record for your registrar
    6. The inclusion of this parameter can take up to 48 hours and your web hosting should now be linked to your domain name

    Email hosting

    To link your Infomaniak email hosting to your existing domain name, enter the following settings with the registrar for your domain name:

    MX Record

    IN

    MX

    5 mta-gw.infomaniak.ch

    TXT Record

    IN

    TXT

    v=spf1 include:spf.infomaniak.ch ?all

    The inclusion of this parameter can take up to 48 hours and your Email hosting should now be linked to your domain name.
