Connect an existing domain
Already own a domain at another registrar? You can use it with Orvoro without transferring it.
Steps
- Go to Domains and choose Connect an existing domain.
- Enter your domain name and follow the prompts.
- Point the domain to Orvoro using one of these, as instructed:
- Nameservers — set your domain's nameservers to Orvoro's at your current registrar (simplest — Orvoro then manages DNS), or
- DNS records — keep your nameservers and add the records we show (for example an A record for your website, or MX/SPF/DKIM for email).
- Wait for DNS to propagate (usually minutes, up to a few hours), then use re-check to confirm.
Transfer instead?
To move the domain's registration to Orvoro, see Transfer a domain in (you'll need the EPP/auth code from your current registrar).
Troubleshooting
- Still not connecting? — DNS can take time to propagate; re-check later. Confirm you changed records at the provider that currently controls the domain.
- Website not loading on the domain? — make sure the domain is also assigned to your site under Websites → [site] → Domains.
