Point a domain to Onimhost with nameservers or DNS records
Two ways to connect a domain bought elsewhere: change nameservers or edit a single record.
Your domain can live at any registrar and still show a website hosted with us.
Option 1: change the nameservers
- Log in at your registrar and open the domain settings.
- Find Nameservers and choose custom.
- Enter the two nameservers from your Onimhost welcome email and save.
Option 2: keep your DNS and edit records
Create an A record for @ with the server IP, and a CNAME record for www that points to your domain. This is useful when email is hosted somewhere else.
Important: DNS changes can take from a few minutes to 24 hours to be visible everywhere.
