Using your already existing domain

Moving Your Web Address to Voog

After subscribing to Voog, you can move your web address (e.g. mycompany.com, mycompany.co.uk) to Voog to display your website.

If you purchased the domain from another registrar, import it to your Voog account and direct the A-record to Voog's server IP address 85.222.234.14.

Connect Your Existing Website Domain to Your Voog Website

1. Log into your Voog website and navigate to Settings > Domains.

2. 

   Click the "Add new" button, select "Import" and enter your website domain without the www-prefix (e.g., write example.com instead of www.example.com). The www-prefix will be recognized automatically.

Update Your DNS Records to Move Domain

After linking your website domain to your Voog website, it's time to modify the DNS records in your domain registrar's management system.

1. Log into your domain registrar's management system.
2. Look for options to edit your domain's DNS settings, often found under "Name Server (DNS)" or "Advanced DNS management." Choose options like "IP Forwarding" or "Modifying an A-record."
3. Update your domain's A-record to Voog's server IP address: 85.222.234.14. Exclude the www-prefix when adding the domain name (e.g., example.com).
4. Create a new CNAME record for your www-domain: set the type to CNAME, the value to example.com, and the name to www.example.com.

This process will help you successfully move your domain and use the custom domain for your website.

Your CNAME and A-record should now look something like this:

Note: Changing your A-record may take up to 48 hours to propagate across the internet, depending on your domain's TTL (time to live) settings.
