How do I point a domain to a site or project?
Use the destination’s verified DNS instructions and preserve existing mail records.
Point a domain to a site by adding the DNS records the destination asks you to use. Keep a copy of existing records first, especially those used for email. Verify the domain from the destination’s dashboard and check that the site loads securely before announcing the change.
Before you start
Get the exact DNS names, types and values from the destination service.
What to do
- Save your existing DNS records.
- Add or replace only the records identified by the destination.
- Wait for the destination to verify the domain and test the public address.
Common problems
If the site still points elsewhere, confirm you edited the active DNS zone and check for conflicting records before making more changes.
