Using Infomaniak Domains Optimally with CuriaWeb Hosting
Infomaniak is one of the largest registrars in French-speaking Switzerland. Many customers own their domains there but want to use the performance and personal service of CuriaWeb for their hosting. To get your website online with us, you have two strategic options: technical redirection or a full administrative transfer.
Method 1: Nameserver Configuration in the Infomaniak Manager
If you wish to continue receiving the domain invoice from Infomaniak, you must delegate the nameservers (DNS) to our infrastructure. This is done directly in your Infomaniak customer account.
- Log in to the Infomaniak Manager.
- Navigate to the Domain section and select the relevant web address.
- Click on DNS Servers in the left menu.
- Select the option to change the DNS servers and enter our Swiss nameservers:
- ns1.curiaweb.ch
- ns2.curiaweb.ch
- Confirm the change. Infomaniak will now feed the new data into the global DNS network.
The Better Alternative: Domain Transfer to CuriaWeb
A simple nameserver entry often means a high administrative effort involving two different companies. A transfer of your domain to CuriaWeb is the cleanest solution for Swiss shop operators. We take over not only the technical management but also the complete monitoring of availability.
How the Switch from Infomaniak Works:
In your Infomaniak Manager, you will find the item "Transfer / Transfer Code" under the domain settings. Deactivate the transfer protection (Transfer Lock) there and request the Auth code. Enter this code during your order or in the CuriaWeb customer area. We take care of the rest for you – without any downtime for your website.
Technical Background: Why Does the Change Take Time?
Whether it's a nameserver change or a transfer: the change must be synchronized across thousands of nameservers worldwide (DNS propagation). In Switzerland, this is usually very fast (2-4 hours), but globally it can take up to 24 hours. During this time, your site remains accessible via the old connection until the switch is seamlessly completed.
