Use your Existing Domain with Jimdo

If you have already registered a domain, you can still use it with Jimdo. There are several possibilities.

Note: We cannot do one of these steps for you. You have to set this up at your existing Domain Registrar

Don't forget to let us know when you make these changes!

Redirect your Domain to your JimdoPage

The simplest way: Just redirect your domain to your JimdoPage username.jimdo.com.

Set your nameservers in your DNS to Jimdo

Jimdo's Nameservers:

  1. ns1.jimdo.com
  2. ns2.jimdo.com

Set a CNAME Entry in your DNS to Jimdo

To use your domain please insert the following entries in your DNS:

yourdomain.xx CNAME username.jimdo.com
www.yourdomain.xx CNAME username.jimdo.com

Please note: You cannot use the Jimdo mail management if you are forwarding your domain via CNAME entry.
