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

Good to know

• If you are just getting started with landing pages, feel free to have a look at our series of articles on how to create your first landing page.
• To learn how to manage sub-pages within your multipage landing page, read Manage sub-pages within your landing page.

Add your custom domain

1. Go to Contacts > Landing pages.

2. Open the landing page that you want to host on your domain.

3. Click Launch.
   
   

4. If your landing page is not published yet, click Publish now. 
   

5. Once published, insert the URL of the custom domain where you want your landing page to be visible.
   
6. 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 IONOS

In this example, we will host our landing page on subdomain pages.sendinbluecc.site.

Step 1: Log into IONOS

1. Login to your IONOS account.
2. Go to Domains & SSL.
   
3. Click the gear next to your domain name.
4. Select Manage subdomains.
   
   
5. Click Create a subdomain.
   
   
6. In the popup window, type your subdomain name.
   In our example, we use pages, but you should use your own subdomain name.
7. Click Save.
   

Step 2: Add a TXT record

1. Go to the DNS tab
2. Click Add a record
   
3. Select TXT
4. Enter the following information:
   • Hostname: @
   • Value: value displayed on your Brevo account
   • TTL: default configuration (usually 1 hour)
5. Click Save
   
   

Step 3: Add a CNAME record

1. Click Add a record
2. Select CNAME
3. Enter the following information:
   • Hostname:  your subdomain name (in our example, pages)
   • Points to: cname.sibpages.com
   • TTL: default configuration (usually 1 hour)
4. Click Save
   
   

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.
