Can I Use my domain with my Webspace Package?

Due to technical and security limitations on our host server systems, you cannot direct your domains to your Webspace Package simply by adding or modifying the A records in the DNS zones of the corresponding nameservers. 

There are three ways to redirect your domains to your Webspace Package, which are described below:
 

1) Creating DNS records for your domains on our nameservers:

You can create an unlimited number of DNS zones for your domains for free under the "DNS Zone Management" menu item in your Customer Control Panel. Your domains can also be registered by third party providers. The DNS zones are stored on Contabo nameservers, and within these DNS zones you can define several DNS records, such as the A record, which make a domain point to a specific IP address.

You do not need to specify the DNS records individually when creating a DNS zone; just choose the correct target IP address and the working DNS records will be set automatically. 

Once the correct DNS zone has been created and the Contabo name servers have been assigned to your domain, you will be able to use the domain on your web space package in a very secure way.

Please note that only the current domain provider can change the assigned name servers, so you will have to contact the domain provider directly, or optionally use an administration panel of your domain provider, if one is available, to make this change. Finally, you need to add the domain to your webspace package using cPanel.

You can choose between adding it as an "Alias" (also known as "Parked Domain") and as an "Addon Domain".

An "Addon Domain" will have its own subfolder in your public_html directory. It will also have its own permissions, such as a separate FTP login and the ability to manage the new domain's email addresses.

An "Alias",  on the other hand, does not have its own subdirectory, but is linked to the main directory. Creating redirections and email addresses is also possible with aliases.

2) Transferring your domains to Contabo:
Alternatively, you can transfer your domains to Contabo. To do this, you must order them in the"Register/transfer-in domain" section under the "Domains" menu in your Customer Control Panel.

You can find a guide on how to transfer existing domains to Contabo here.

3) Registering alternative domains
If you want to use other domains that are not yet registered, you can also order them in the section "Register/transfer-in domain" under the menu item "Domains" in your Customer Control Panel.

You can find a guide on how to do this here.
