Add a DNS zone (for external domain)
This guide explains how to order a DNS zone from Infomaniak.
Preamble
- Having the DNS zone at Infomaniak is useful if your domain name is registered elsewhere (third-party provider/registrar) and you want to easily link this domain with Infomaniak products.
- Indeed, it is not enough to have a site
domain.xyz
at Infomaniak and to indicate the 2 DNS addresses of Infomaniak at the registrar of the domain name (if it is not Infomaniak) for the site to display when you typedomain.xyz
in a browser. - You must add a DNS zone in the same place as the hosting to make the site work easily.
- This will also be particularly useful if the provider managing your domain name does not offer DNS zone management.
