Depending on whether the domain you want to connect to is in your account, another account or with an external provider, you may need to take several steps:
Domain is on the same account
If the virtual host is on a domain that is in the same account as the web hosting, you don't need to do anything else. The host name(s) on the domain will automatically point to the virtual host in the web hosting.
The domain is in another account in Domainnameshop
If he host name is not in the same account as the web hosting, you are provided with a TXT-record that the administrator of that domain must add in DNS for the domain:
When the TXT-record is added to DNS, click Check DNS Now or the Check button for the current virtual host(shown as
).
The domain is using external DNS-provider
If you have set up a virtual host on a domain that does not use Domainnameshop's name servers, you will get a TXT record that must be entered in DNS for that domain.
Log in to your DNS provider and add the TXT-record. You must also enter an A-record and / or AAAA record for the webhotel's IP addresse(s). Once you've made changes to DNS with your provider, click Check DNS Now or the Check button for the current virtual host (shown as
).
Since the domain name yourdomain-2.com is not using Domainnameshop's, the following message will be displayed:
To activate the virtual host
yourdomain-2.com for this web hotel, create the following record(s) in DNS:
yourdomain-2.com. IN A 194.63.249.212
yourdomain-2.com. IN AAAA 2a01:5b40:0:4a01::f726:fa7a:5847
yourdomain-2.com. IN TXT "domainnameshop-verification=qq3suhXjhSujKcgqhHXpF4gr9uVwcXmT"
