This guide helps you troubleshoot configuration errors if you are experiencing difficulties linking your domain name to Site Creator.

Common issues and solutions

Identify the current status of your domain to apply the appropriate solution:

This guide explains how to link a domain name to an Infomaniak Mail Service.

If the domain name is located…

… with Infomaniak, same Organization

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 for and correct any configuration errors.

… with 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 Infomaniak's MX record (+ SPF & DKIM).
  • Any DNS addition/modification may take up to 48 hours to propagate.

OU

• Move it within the same Organization.

… with Infomaniak using external DNS

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

• Edit the current DNS zone where it is hosted (if necessary, consult the help documentation of the provider in question) and specify Infomaniak's MX record (+ SPF & DKIM).
  • Any DNS addition/modification may take up to 48 hours to propagate.

OU

• Change your current DNS settings and select the option to use Infomaniak's DNS servers.
  • Any DNS addition or modification may take up to 48 hours to propagate.
• Refer to this other guide to check for and correct any potential configuration errors.

… or with external DNS servers

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

• Edit the current DNS zone where it is located (if necessary, consult the documentation provided by your provider) and specify Infomaniak's MX record (+ SPF & DKIM).
  • Any DNS addition/modification may take up to 48 hours to propagate.

OU

• Change the current DNS servers (if necessary, consult the documentation provided by your provider) and specify Infomaniak's DNS servers (this requires having a DNS zone with Infomaniak).
  • Any DNS addition/modification may take up to 48 hours to propagate.
• This DNS zone with Infomaniak will be configured correctly, but please refer to this other guide to check for and correct any potential configuration errors.

… elsewhere, but you are moving it here

If your domain name is registered with another registrar and you would like to transfer it to the same location as your Infomaniak email, then:

• Transfer the domain name to Infomaniak (it will be configured correctly, but please refer to this other guide to check and correct any potential configuration errors).

Alternatively, consider ordering a new domain name if necessary.

This guide explains how to register a domain name with Infomaniak.

Introduction

• With a new domain name or an additional domain name, many possibilities open up to you, including access to free services, such as:
  • email address with contact & calendar management,
  • 10 MB of web space,
  • newsletter sending
• You can also:
  • use your existing Mail Service or website but with a different spelling,
  • host a website here or with a third-party hosting provider,
  • etc.

Order your first domain name

To do this:

1. If necessary, create an Infomaniak account.

• Available — in this case, it's good, you can book it.
• Transferable — you must own it with another provider in order to transfer to Infomaniak‍.‍‍
• Unavailable — unfortunately, it will not be possible to order it until it is released by its current owner.‍
  ‍‍

This guide explains how to remove additional designations from an existing Mail Service (everything that comes after the @ symbol in your email address) by detaching its associated domain names.

Introduction

• Once removed, the domain name is again available to order a new Mail Service or to be linked to another existing Mail Service.
• It should also be noted that you can rename your product in the Infomaniak Manager, but changing the name of a Mail Service has absolutely no effect on its addresses; you must act on the domain name.

Remove the linked domain

Prerequisites

• Make sure the synonymous domain name is no longer associated with the main domain name if it was previously associated.
• Define the domain name to be disassociated as a secondary domain (instead of a primary domain) – this change can be made by following this other guide in the section titled "a" starting from point 3.

This guide explains how to add a synonym domain to a domain name.

Introduction

• A synonym domain is a domain name that can serve as a secondary name for another domain.
• When a synonym domain is added, it automatically inherits the content of the DNS zone of the main domain (including MX, A, etc. records), as well as its Web and Mail hosting.
• Alternatively, you can also add an alias to a website or add an alias to a Mail service.

Add a synonym domain to a domain

Prerequisites

• The domain name of the future synonym or the management of its DNS zone…
  • … must be registered with Infomaniak,
  • … must be configured with Infomaniak DNS,

This guide explains how to obtain the EPP code for your domain name at Swizzonic (formerly Switchplus) so that you can transfer it to Infomaniak.

Introduction

• The terms "EPP", "AuthCode", "AuthInfo", "transfer code", and "authorization code" all refer to alphanumeric sequences specific to the domain, the main purpose of which is to verify the owner's authorization before a transfer between Registrars.
• Refer to the main guide for the rest of the transfer procedure.
• ⚠️ This involves transferring a domain name that you own from a different provider than Infomaniak, so that the future management of this domain is handled by Infomaniak; therefore, this is not an internal transfer from one owner to another, and the code you need to obtain is not a code for an internal transfer to your current provider.

Transfer the domain name to Infomaniak

To obtain the authorization code from your current provider:

1. Refer to the complete procedure provided by Swizzonic to obtain the code and keep it in a safe place.
2. Once you have obtained the authorization code, please refer to the main Infomaniak guide for information on the rest of the domain name transfer procedure.

This guide explains the difference between the terms synonym and alias in the context of the Domain Name service offered by Infomaniak.

Introduction

• Refer to this other guide to add a domain as a synonym (or to disassociate it).
• Understand the difference between domains and DNS zones

Synonym domain / Alias domain

Synonym domains (domains that are entirely dependent on the main domain, without their own DNS configuration) and alias domains (independent domains, with their own DNS configuration) can both be used as secondary domains associated with a main domain.

For example, the domains pomme.xyz (alias) and banane.xyz (synonym) can redirect to a common main domain such as fruits.xyz.

Here is the technical distinction to remember:

• The synonym (also called a “linked domain” or “DNS mirror”) directly uses the DNS servers of the main domain. It does not have its own DNS zone.
• The alias (also called an “autonomous redirected domain” or “DNS alias”) has its own DNS records (independent DNS zone), although it points to the same hosting or the same services.

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:

• Edit the current DNS zone where it is hosted (if necessary, consult the help documentation of the provider in question) and specify the site's IP address as an A record.
  • Any DNS addition or modification may take up to 48 hours to propagate.

OU

• Change your current DNS settings and select the option to use Infomaniak's DNS servers.
  • Any DNS addition or modification may take up to 48 hours to propagate.
• Refer to this other guide to check for and correct any potential configuration errors.

… Elsewhere with external DNS

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

• Edit the current DNS zone where it is located (if necessary, consult the documentation provided by your provider) and specify the website's IP address in the form of an A record.
  • Any DNS addition or modification may take up to 48 hours to propagate.

OU

• Change the current DNS servers (if necessary, consult the documentation provided by your provider) and specify Infomaniak's DNS servers (this implies that you have a DNS zone with Infomaniak).
  • Any DNS addition or modification may take up to 48 hours to propagate.
• This DNS zone with Infomaniak will be configured correctly, but please refer to this other guide to check for and correct any potential configuration errors.

… Elsewhere, but you are moving it here

If your domain name is registered with another registrar and you want to transfer it to the same location as your Infomaniak website, then:

• Transfer the domain name to Infomaniak (it will be configured correctly, but please refer to this other guide to check and correct any potential configuration errors).
• If the domain name is intended to be an alias for your main website, you need to add the alias to your website.

This guide explains how a domain name and a DNS zone work.

Introduction

1. When you browse a website such as https://www.abc123.xyz, abc123.xyz is the domain name.
2. Each domain name has DNS (Domain Name System), which indicates where the DNS zone is located (e.g., with which provider).
3. The DNS zone then allows you to delegate the management of various services related to the domain name to different providers.
   • For a single domain name, it is possible to delegate:
     • web hosting to provider X (via an "A" record)
     • and email service to provider Y (via an "MX" record)

Domain name, DNS and DNS zone, then services

Who manages what?

1. Each domain name is registered and managed by a registrar. For example, Infomaniak is a registrar, one of the cheapest in Switzerland.
2. The DNS of a domain name is configured with the registrar that manages the domain name.
3. The DNS zone can be managed by the registrar or another provider.
4. Web hosting and email service can be managed by any hosting provider.

In the most complex case, it is therefore possible to have 1 different provider for the following services: domain name registration and DNS management, DNS zone management, web hosting, email service.

The following diagram summarizes these different possibilities with the involvement of different providers:

Infomaniak

As a registrar and hosting provider, Infomaniak can manage all of these services. This is the simplest solution.

• In the case of Infomaniak, the DNS servers are generally in the form nsXX.infomaniak.com and nsXX.infomaniak.com (XX being 11 or 12, for example).
• You can modify the DNS servers for your domain name, as well as modify the "internal" settings of these DNS servers, i.e., modify the DNS zone of a domain name.

And within these DNS zones, to redirect traffic to services, we distinguish:

• an MX record which allows a domain name (domain.xyz for example) to point to a mail server.
• an A record which allows a domain name (domain.xyz for example) or a subdomain (example.domain.xyz for example) to point to a web server that has a static IP address (otherwise, you would have to constantly edit the A record to enter the new IP address - see this other guide on this subject).

Possible scenarios

etc.

This guide explains how to add or modify one or more records of type CNAME and DNAME in the DNS zone (of a domain name) managed in the Infomaniak Manager.

Introduction

• The CNAME record type allows you to point a subdomain to a website address.
  • This is the method generally used to make the www subdomain work with your site, or to redirect a subdomain to a folder on the web server where your website is hosted.
• The DNAME record type, for "delegation name", is particularly useful when reorganizing domains or for smooth transitions of part of your infrastructure to another, while preserving the hierarchical structure of the subdomains.
  • A DNAME creates an alias for an entire domain and all its subdomains.
• Unlike a CNAME, which only applies to a single, specific hostname, a DNAME automatically redirects all subdomains. For example:
  • A DNAME for abc.site1.com pointing to site2.com will automatically link xyz.abc.site1.com to xyz.site2.com, new.login.abc.site1.com to new.login.site2.com, and so on.
• ⚠ A DNAME record cannot be used at the root zone of a domain (like site1.com directly). It is generally used on a subdomain. If you want to redirect the main domain itself, you will need to use other types of records, such as an A, AAAA, or CNAME (with some restrictions for the latter).

Modify the DNS zone

To manage this type of record in a DNS zone:

1. Click here to access your domain management in the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
2. Click directly on the name assigned to the domain in question.
3. Click on DNS Zone in the left-hand menu.
4. Click the button to add a record:
   
5. Click the corresponding radio button to add a record.
6. Click the Next button:
   
7. Enter the values required for your DNS zone.
8. Leave the default value for the TTL.
9. Click on the Save button:
   

This guide explains how to create subdomains on an existing Infomaniak hosting account, using an .htaccess file.

✘ NOT AVAILABLE‍ with
Site Creator Lite
hosting plans Starter

Preamble

• Hosting can be provided through a Shared Web Hosting plan or on an Infomaniak Cloud Server.
• Subdomains can be added very easily to your current hosting plan, as the basic plan includes 20 sites per hosting plan (sites = subdomains).
• If you do not wish to use this number of sites, you can follow the method below.

Create a subdomain as a shortcut

Subdomains created in this way make it easier to organize a hosting environment. For example, the address vlog.domain.xyz will be the shortcut for the address domain.xyz/vlog. In other words, the address vlog.domain.xyz will redirect to the vlog folder, which must be located at the root of the domain.xyz website. In this example, vlog is the subdomain of domain.xyz.

1. Add the subdomain as an alias for your website

To do this:

1. Follow the procedure for adding an alias, but please read points 2 and 3 below.
2. In the field for adding the associated domain, enter the complete address of the subdomain (e.g. vlog.domain.xyz).
3. If your domain or its DNS zone is managed with Infomaniak, enable the following two options: Update DNS entries for this domain and Replace existing entries; if this is not the case, create an A record with your registrar using the following information:
   • field: the complete URL of the subdomain (e.g. vlog.domain.xyz)
   • target: the IPv4 address (A record) of your website (refer to this other guide to find the A record of your website)

2. Modify the .htaccess file of your website

Using your FTP software/client or Web FTP in the Manager, add and adapt the following code to the .htaccess file located in the root directory of your website:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.domain\.xyz [NC]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%1/ -d
RewriteCond %1::%{REQUEST_URI} !^(.*?)::/\1/?
RewriteRule "^(.*)$" "%{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%1/$1" [L]

Explanation for the third line: https://stackoverflow.com/a/15981056

On the first line, replace:

• domain with your domain name
• xyz by extending your domain name (ch, fr, etc.)

Now, the address vlog.domain.xyz should display the content of the vlog folder located at the root of your website. If this is not the case, check that the vlog folder actually exists at the root of your website.

This guide explains how to set up a zone delegation for a subdomain.

Prerequisites

Guides for any other hosting provider

To avoid interrupting your website and email services and prevent data loss when importing your existing data, migrate your services in the order indicated:

1. Import Web data (any PHP, HTML, etc. website)

   • For WordPress specifically, please refer to this other guide…
     

2. Copy Mail data (addresses and mailbox content, etc.) to kSuite or a simple Mail Service

3. Transfer the domain name (domain management, DNS zone, etc.)

You can also transfer other types of data to Infomaniak servers:

• Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. content: refer to this other guide
• Data on Synology or QNAP NAS: please refer to this other guide

This guide details the administrative steps required to transfer the management of a .lu domain to Infomaniak.

Transfer a .lu domain

Transferring a domain in .lu does not require a transfer code; instead, a validation email will be sent to the domain administrator (indicated in the WHOIS contact information) to validate the transfer to Infomaniak.

The domain owner then has 15 days to validate the transfer; otherwise, the transfer will fail.

Once the request is validated, the transfer is almost immediate.
