Add external domain in CloudPit
Log in to CloudPit. In the overview, you will see your products.
Find the desired web hosting package. Click next to it on MORE (1) and then on Add external domain (2).
To confirm ownership, a TXT record is required. This record will be displayed to you in CloudPit.
Enter the TXT record with your current domain provider. This is the provider where the domain is registered.
Once the TXT record has been set, enter the full domain name in CloudPit and confirm your input.
CloudPit will then automatically check whether the TXT record is found.
After successful verification, the domain will appear in your domain overview and can be used in the web hosting, e.g., for websites, email addresses, or redirects.

Log in to the Control Panel and open Domains (1).
Then click on External Domains (2).

Your domain provider must make one of the displayed changes so that the domain can be connected.
In most cases, the nameserver change is the easiest and most reliable option.
After the chosen method has been implemented, you can add the domain.
If an error message appears, wait a few hours and try again. DNS changes can take up to 48 hours.
