In our article on changing your Plug&Pay domain name, we outline the general steps for adjusting DNS records.
Since every domain provider uses different settings, we’ve created an overview of the most common domain providers and how to configure the correct DNS records.
ℹ️ It’s possible that the screenshots of your domain provider’s dashboard have changed. Fortunately, the way you configure DNS records remains the same.
1. TransIP DNS records
Open your dashboard and navigate to Domain & Hosting. Select the desired domain name and scroll down.
Next to (Advanced) domain management, you’ll see TransIP settings toggled on/off.
To activate Plug&Pay on your domain, TransIP settings must be turned off.
