In order to link your personal domain name to your elloha website, you must :
Set up, at your registrar (OVH, Ionos, Gandi...) an A* type registration for "yourdomain.com" and "www.votredomaine.com" to the IP of the elloha server hosting your new Magic website.
The IP is indicated in the Domain Name section of the Configuration tab in the Website menu.Enter your personal domain name, for example: http://www.mon-nom-de-domaine.com, in theelloha application interface.
Here are the detailed steps to follow to redirect your domain name:
SET UP A* RECORDS FOR YOUR DOMAIN NAME
The DNS settings for your domain name must be changed at the registrar you purchased it from (OVH, Gandi, IONOS...) in order to make it "point" to the IP of the server hosting your new elloha website.
You must :
Retrieve the IP address proposed by elloha by clicking on the "I want to use my current internet address" link ( Website menu, Configuration tab, Domain name section); you will need to use the IP address indicated on your elloha account, which will not necessarily be the one shown in the screenshots in this knowledge base article
Connect to the customer area of your registrar such as OVH, gandi or IONOS
Replace the value of type A records in @ and www with the IP proposed by elloha (these record types are symbolised in the green boxes in the example below)
IMPORTANT: records of type AAAA (IPV6) framed in red must be deleted in your registrar's DNS management interface as they will prevent your domain name from pointing to the elloha server.
If you have any problems performing this operation, you can open a ticket with your registrar's support or with the service provider you have entrusted with the management of your domain name with a request of this type:
"Please point mydomain.com with and without www. to the IP XX.XX.XX.XX* via type A records".
*(indicate the IP displayed in elloha)
