Connect an external top level domain

michela · May 23, 2019, 12:33pm

Hi everyone,
I would like to connect my external top-level domain ( it is on an OVH server) to my HubSpot account in order to have my landing pages, created with HS, with an URL like this one: mydomain.com/myHSlandingpagename
Is it possible?
Thanks in advance!

I’ve already read that guide.
My web developer told me that if I want to connect my domain with HS ( so I can create landing pages with URL like mywebsite.com), for every landing page I create I will have to modify the htaccess file of my website.
Is it true?

Ok @michela,

Your web developer may (or may not) have anything to do with managing your DNS. (dunno)

Maybe reach out to HubSpot Support directly for assistance adding a domain on your HubSpot Marketing Pro account.

++
Know this, once done (via DNS), you’ll be able to stand up landing pages directly inside of HubSpot and have those pages render on a subdomain of your top level domain AUTOMATICALLY.

Examples:
- lp.yourdomain.com/lp-HSlandingpagename
- info.yourdomain.com/lp-hslandingpagename

Shouldn’t be any need for .htaccess nonsense once the one-time initial DNS setup is completed. But you’ll want to confirm that with HubSpot for your specific use case.
