Connect your domain to Nettify

Once you’ve bought a domain, it’s time to connect it to your website in Nettify. You have two options:
  1. Automatic with Entri Connect — easiest, works with most providers
  2. Manual with DNS settings — for providers not supported by Entri, or if you prefer to do it yourself
Entri Connect connects your domain to Nettify automatically. You don’t need to know what DNS is or change anything technical — Entri handles everything for you.
1

Go to domain settings in Nettify

Log in to nettify.no and go to Settings for your website. Find the section for Connect domain.
2

Click 'Connect domain'

Click the button to connect your domain. Nettify opens Entri Connect for you.
3

Log in to your domain provider

Entri Connect asks you to log in to the provider where you bought your domain. This is safe — Entri only connects the domain and doesn’t get access to anything else.
4

Select the domain you want to connect

If you have multiple domains, select the one you want to use for this website.
5

Confirm the connection

Click confirm, and Entri sets everything up automatically. It may take up to a few minutes before the domain is active.
6

Done!

Your website is now available on your own domain. Try visiting it in your browser!
It can take up to 24 hours for the domain to work everywhere, but it’s usually ready within minutes.

​
Option 2: Connect manually (DNS)

If your domain provider isn’t supported by Entri Connect, you can connect your domain to Nettify manually. It might sound technical, but it’s really just adding two lines in your domain provider’s settings.
What is DNS? Think of DNS as a phone book for the internet. When someone types in your domain (e.g. mycompany.com), DNS looks up where your website actually lives. You just need to tell DNS that your domain should point to Nettify.

​
How to do it

1

Find the DNS settings at your provider

Log in to your domain provider and find DNS settings, Zone file or DNS records. It’s usually under domain management or settings.
  1. Log in to your domain provider’s control panel
  2. Go to domain management or settings
  3. Find DNS, Zone file or DNS records
  4. Look for an option to add new records
  5. Some providers require you to click “Advanced settings” to see CNAME options
2

Add DNS records

Nettify shows you which DNS records to add. Go to Settings → Connect domain in your Nettify dashboard to see the exact values for your domain.Typically you need two records:
TypeName / HostValue / Points to
CNAMEwwwcname.nettify.no
A@ (or empty)Nettify’s IP address (shown in your dashboard)
Important: The exact values may vary. Always use the values shown in your Nettify dashboard — don’t blindly copy the values from this table.
3

Save and wait

Save the DNS changes. It can take up to 24 hours for changes to take effect, but it’s usually ready within a few minutes to a couple of hours.
4

Verify in Nettify

Go back to Nettify and click “Verify” or refresh the page. Nettify automatically checks if the domain is correctly configured.
Not working right away? Wait 15-30 minutes and try again. DNS changes need a bit of time to propagate.

​
Common mistakes with manual setup

Check that you’ve entered the correct values. The most common mistake is a typo in the CNAME value or forgetting to save the changes. Log in to your provider and double-check.
Try searching for “DNS”, “Zone file” or “Name servers” in the control panel. Some providers call it “Advanced settings”. Contact your provider’s support if you’re stuck.
Some providers don’t allow CNAME on the root domain (without www). In that case, use an A record pointing to the IP address Nettify provides. See the values in your dashboard.
If you accidentally change MX records or name servers, it can affect email. Only change the DNS records that Nettify asks you to. Leave MX records and other settings as they are.
