Add a DNS zone (when a domain is external)
This guide explains how to order a DNS zone from Infomaniak.
Why Order a DNS Zone?
Owning the DNS zone with 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 with Infomaniak and to indicate our 2 DNS addresses at the domain name registrar (if it is not Infomaniak) to make the site display when you type domain.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 service provider managing your domain name does not offer DNS zone management.
Ordering a DNS Zone
- Go to the Shop (shop.infomaniak.com)
- Enter the name of the domain registered elsewhere
- Click on the action button â‹® on the right and select Order a DNS zone
