In this article, we will explain how to host your landing page on a custom domain or subdomain using OVH.

Add your custom domain
-
Go to Contacts > Landing pages.
-
Open the landing page that you want to host on your domain.
-
Click Launch.
-
If your landing page is not published yet, click Publish now.
- Once published, insert the URL of the custom domain where you want your landing page to be visible.
- After entering the URL, click Connect.
From here, you will be provided with step-by-step instructions to host your landing page on your domain.
Host your landing page on OVH
In this example, we will host our landing page on the subdomain landingpage.yoursite.com.
Step 1: Log into OVH
- Log into your OVH account.
- Go to Web Cloud.
- Under Domain names, select your domain name in the drop-down list.
Step 2: Create two new DNS records
Add a TXT record
- Go to the DNS zone tab.
- Click Add an entry to add a new record.
- Select TXT.
- Click Next.
- Fill in the following information:
- Sub-domain: leave blank
- TTL: By default
-
Value: value displayed on your Brevo account
- Click Next.
- Click Confirm.
Add a CNAME record
- Click Add an entry again to create a second record.
- Select CNAME.
- Click Next.
- Fill in the following information:
- Sub-domain: your subdomain name (in our example, landingpage)
- TTL: By default
-
Value: cname.sibpages.com
- Click Next.
- Click Confirm.
Step 3: Check your DNS status
Once you have created your TXT and CNAME records, your modifications will be applied immediately to the DNS zone. Please note that the propagation time can take up to 72 hours.
On your Brevo account, return to step 3 and click Click to check your DNS status. You will be redirected to a website that allows you to check your DNS propagation. Once your landing page is live on your URL, a green checkmark will appear on this page.
Step 4: Verify DNS propagation
Once the DNS records have propagated, click Verify.
You should see the message "Successfully connected your domain" and the domain name will be displayed as shown below. To unlink the domain, click Unlink.
