Discovering the Public Cloud

An operation that is free, this allows transferring the domain’s technical management without touching its administrative management (its registrar). If you wish to move all of the management to alwaysdata, use a domain transfer.

Here we wish to add the domain and change of DNS servers at the registrar to put dns1.alwaysdata.com and dns2.alwaysdata.com.

  1. From your administration interface, go to Domains > Add a domain;

    Administration interface: list of domains
    Administration interface: list of domains

  2. Fill-in the domain names that you wish to add,

    Administration interface: step 1
    Administration interface: step 1

Enter the domain only, without the subdomain. For example: example.org and not www.example.org.

  1. Choose to manage it.
    Administration interface: step 2
    Administration interface: step 2

This will add the domain as an external domain in the list.

Administration interface: External domain
Administration interface: External domain

Then you can create e-mail addresses, websites and manage DNS records.

If some DNS records are to be kept - for example not to change email providers - the DNS zone will need to be prepared before making the DNS server change.
