New domain
When you place a JimdoPro order, you also receive an own domain (.com, .de, .info, .org, .net, .biz). Apart from those, there are a few other domains that you can choose from, for a small extra charge.
Use your existing domain
If you already have a domain, there are three ways for you to direct it to your Jimdo page.
Notice: The e-mail account from Jimdo can only be used if you change your DNS.
Simple redirect
Make a redirect from your domain to your Jimdo-Page.
CNAME entry in your DNS
Insert the following two entries into your DNS:
yourdomain.xx CNAME xxx.jimdo.com www.yourdomain.xx CNAME xxx.jimdo.com
example for yourname.jimdo.com with domain yourname.com
yourname.com CNAME yourname.jimdo.com www.yourname.com CNAME yourname.jimdo.com
Change the nameservers (DNS) to Jimdo
Change the DNS entries for your domain to:
ns1.jimdo.com ns2.jimdo.com
Transfer a domain to Jimdo
You can only transfer your already existing domain from your old provider to Jimdo, if it is a .de, .com, .net or .org domain.
Important: When transfering a domain, all content on your website will be lost. If you want to use the content on your new page, make sure to back it up before starting the transfer.
International domains
We will initiate the transfer for you. The domain's admin-c (administrative contact) will receive a transfer request which has to be confirmed within five days. If you're not sure whether or not the admin-c e-mail address is yours, please use Whois, so you can be certain that the confirmation mail will be sent to you.
Once you have confirmed the request, the same request will be sent to the former provider, which it'll have to confirm as well. That being done, the admin-c will get another confirmation mail. The transfer of international domains takes approximately four to ten days.
In some cases, the domain is locked by the provider. If you're in such a situation, you need to ask your provider to unlock it before you can start the transferring process.
