This guide explains how to replace, within an Infomaniak Web Hosting, the address of a site currently a subdomain (https://dev.domain.xyz) with the main domain (https://domain.xyz).

Preamble

• Operations in brief:
  1. We start with a site created and accessible via the main domain URL dev.domain.xyz.
  2. We add an alias domain.xyz to it.
  3. We reverse the 2 types (the main domain becomes an alias and the alias becomes the main domain).
  4. We remove the old name dev.domain.xyz.
• Note that the site's location remains in the original folder on the server; the name of this location may be of the form /sites/dev.domain.xyz but this has absolutely no impact on the production site.
• Also refer to the last chapter of this other guide.

Reverse a linked domain

Here are the detailed operations to go from a site with a subdomain type address to a direct address (here dev.domaine-exemple.ch becomes domaine-exemple.ch):

1. Click here to access the management of your site on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
2. Click directly on the name assigned to the site concerned:
   
3. Then click on the chevron to expand the Domains section of this site:
4. Click on the Add a domain button:
   
5. Add the desired new name (if the domain name to be added is under the same Organization, it will be suggested in the list, otherwise enter its spelling):
   
6. Enable or disable the checkboxes:
   • If the added domain is not in the form of a subdomain, it is possible to request to automatically add the www version of the domain.
   • Automatically update (if possible) the DNS records of the added domains.
   • Automatically update the related SSL certificates (if possible).
7. Click the button to Confirm and wait:
   
8. Once the addition is complete, click on the action menu ⋮ located to the right of the domain that has just been added and that you wish to set as the main domain:
9. Choose to set the item as the main domain:
   
10. Confirm the operation to proceed with the domain reversal:
