How do I use external DNS for my web hosting?

This is the function you should use if you need that the IP address of your web hosting will not change without notice, e.g. if you have a name server that is not controlled by us, but want to point an external DNS to a website with us.

This option has some minor drawbacks, read more here.

Here is how you perform the change and view your IP addresses:

1. Log on to the control panel at https://www.domainnameshop.com/login
2. Click on "My domains"
3. Click on the relevant domain
4. Click on the "Webhosting" tab
5. Click on "Web hosting available via"
6. This displays your current dynamic or static IP addresses, depending on whether you already have chosen static IP
7. Change "Static IP-address" to "On"
8. Click on "update"
9. Wait 5 minutes
10. With your DNS provider, add these updated addresses as A record (IPv4) and AAAA record (IPv6), respectively.
