I can't seem to link my domain name to my web hosting.

Updated
There are three possible scenarios:
  • The domain name is managed by Gandi and is linked to our LiveDNS name servers:
    The necessary DNS records are automatically set up when you add the website to your web hosting instance.

  • The domain name is managed by Gandi, but is linked to external name servers:
    The necessary DNS records are displayed on the website management page in your web hosting instance's configuration, and you will need to set them up on your external name servers. Before adding the A/CNAME records to do the domain pointing itself, you'll be asked to add a TXT record that will allow us to verify that you have control of the domain.

  • The domain name is managed by a third-party registrar:
    The necessary DNS records are displayed on the website management page in your web hosting instance's configuration, so you'll need to set them up at your registrar. Before adding the A/CNAME records to do the domain pointing itself, you'll be asked to add a TXT record that will allow us to verify that you have control of the domain.
