This guide explains how to link a domain name to an Infomaniak Web Hosting.

Where is your domain name located?…

… With Infomaniak, even for Organizations

If your domain name is registered with Infomaniak and is in the same user account or organization as your email, then there is nothing to do.

• Consult this other guide to check and correct any potential configuration errors.

… At Infomaniak, Different Organization

If your domain name is registered with Infomaniak but in a different user account or Organization, then:

• Edit its DNS zone by specifying the website's IP address as an A record.
  • Any DNS addition/modification may take up to 48 hours to propagate.

OU

• Move it within the same Organization.

… With Infomaniak and external DNS

If your domain name uses DNS servers that are not Infomaniak's, then:

  • Any DNS addition or modification may take up to 48 hours to propagate.

OU

… Elsewhere, but you are moving it here
