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

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.

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 Gandi

In this example, we will host our landing page on subdomain pages.gandi-traininblue.com.

Step 1: Log into Gandi

1. Log into your Gandi account.
2. Go to Domain.
3. Click your domain name.
   
   

Step 2: Create two new DNS records

Add a TXT record

1. Go to the DNS Records tab.
2. Click Add record to create the first record.
   
   
3. Fill in the following information:
   • Type: TXT
   • TTL and Unit: leave default configuration (usually 1800 seconds)
   • Name: @
   • Text value: value displayed on your Sendinblue account
     
4. Click Create.

Add a CNAME record

1. Click Add record again to create the second record.
2. Fill in the following information:
   • Type: CNAME
   • TTL and Unit: leave default configuration (usually 1800 seconds)
   • Name: your subdomain name (in our example, pages)
   • Text value: cname.sibpages.com.
     
3. Click Create.

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 Sendinblue 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.
