Connect a NameSilo domain to Pagecloud

Pagecloud AI Sites and classic Pagecloud sites use different DNS records. You have an AI Site if your editor includes Ask Paige.

Connect NameSilo to an AI Site

Do not apply NameSilo’s Pagecloud DNS template to an AI Site. An older template can install classic site records.

1. Publish the AI Site.
2. From its project dashboard, select Domain.
3. Enter the domain under Custom domain, then select Add domain.
4. Keep the Pagecloud Domain setup page open.
5. Sign in to NameSilo and open Manage My Domains.
6. Select the DNS management icon for your domain.
7. Copy every Type, Name, and Value displayed in Pagecloud into NameSilo.
8. Remove conflicting A or CNAME records for the same @ or www name. Keep MX and other email records.
9. If NameSilo does not support the displayed ANAME or ALIAS type, expand No ANAME/ALIAS support? Use A records instead in Pagecloud. Add every A and TXT record shown.
10. Save the records, return to Pagecloud, and select Check status.

The setup is complete when both hostnames show DNS connected and SSL active.

Connect NameSilo to a classic site

1. Publish the classic Pagecloud site and add the domain from Domain setup.
2. Sign in to NameSilo and open Manage My Domains.
3. Select the DNS management icon for the domain.
4. Apply the Pagecloud template, or add these records manually:

5. Confirm the template created all three records and remove conflicting records for @ and www.
6. Keep MX and other email records.
7. Return to Pagecloud and select Test connection.
8. Choose your Preferred URL after the domain connects.

DNS changes can take up to 48 hours.
