Domains & DNS

Connect your domain

Two ways to point your domain at Mahsumah Cloud — nameservers or A records — plus what happens next.

There are two supported ways to connect a domain. Delegating your nameservers to us is the simplest because we then manage all your DNS records for you. If you prefer to keep DNS at your current provider, you can instead point A records at your site's server IP.

  1. Sign in to your domain registrar (where you bought the domain).
  2. Find the nameservers / NS settings for your domain.
  3. Replace the existing nameservers with ours:
  4. Save the change and allow time for propagation.
  5. Tell us the domain is delegated so we finalize the records and SSL.
ns1.mahsumaah.sa
ns2.mahsumaah.sa

Option B — point A records

If you keep DNS elsewhere, create an A record for your root domain and a matching record for the www host. We'll give you the exact server IP for your site — replace 203.0.113.10 below with the address we provide.

@     A      203.0.113.10
www   CNAME  yourdomain.sa.

Note

Once DNS resolves to us, our team issues a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate for your domain and www automatically, and renews it before expiry — you don't need to do anything for HTTPS.

Important

DNS changes can take from a few minutes up to 24–48 hours to propagate worldwide, depending on your previous TTL. Don't cancel your old hosting until the new site is confirmed live.
