Docs / Domains & DNS

Connect your own domain

Your site starts on a free yourname.apps.veldhost.eu address. Connecting your own domain takes one form and one change at your registrar.

1. Add the domain to your site

  1. Open your site in the portal → Domain tab.
  2. Enter your domain (e.g. example.com) and save. We issue the SSL certificate automatically.

2. Point the domain at us

Two options — the Domain tab shows both with your exact values:

  • Easiest: switch your domain's nameservers to ours (ns1.veldhost.eu and ns2.veldhost.eu). We then manage all records for you, and email/DNS features work out of the box.
  • Keep your current DNS: add the A records shown on the tab at your registrar.

How long does it take?

Usually minutes; nameserver changes can take up to a day to reach everyone. Your old site keeps working until the switch completes — there's no gap.
