Connect your domain via nameservers to use it with your Jimdo website while keeping it with your domain provider.
1. Add your domain
Before changing the nameservers, add your domain to your Jimdo website.
- Log in to your Jimdo account and choose your website
- Click on Website Builder Domains
- Scroll down and click Forward
- Enter your domain and click Next
- Copy the information under nameservers
More information: How do I forward a domain to my website
Use a nameserver connection if you do not use an external email account. If you want to keep using email with your provider, use a CNAME forwarding instead.
For domains hosted at Squarespace, use a CNAME forwarding.
2. Change the nameservers
Set the following nameservers at your domain provider:
ns13.jimdo.comns14.jimdo.com
It can take up to 24 hours for the connection to become active.
If you have issues, contact your domain provider. Jimdo cannot assist with external settings.
