Illustrated Guide

Configuring your domain for your web host

Once you have found a web host who will host your website and e-mails, you need to change the DNS attributed to your domain name at Gandi. To do this, begin by logging into your domain's control panel with the owner, administrative, or technical Gandi handle (remember, if you have more than one domain, you need to click on the domain in your list of domains).

Then, look to the "Technical Settings" section towards the bottom of the page...

...and click on the "Update" link in the "Technical" column, just under the two DNS. This will then bring up the DNS list interface. Simply replace the existing nameserver names and IP addresses with the names of the nameservers and their IP addresses provided to you by your web host:

Click on "Submit" to continue.

If your DNS change was successful, then please wait up to 6 hours before testing. This is because it can take this long for the information to propogate the internet. If you have any problems with your website or e-mail, you need to contact your host, because Gandi has absolutely no control over your site or e-mail (unless your domain has expired), we simply point your domain to your web host, who takes care of the rest.
