Is changing my DNS a must of the WP plugin enough?

Hi,

We are new to marketing hub and did a few things around website connection to HS:

  1. Tracking code
  2. HS WP plugin
  3. Updated DNS records

For some reason, probably did something wrong on the DNS side, the website went down following these changes. So we wonder.. Is the WP plugin enough, or do we have to do the DNS changes as well?

Hi @TJoseph2

That depends what sort of changes you made and what you are planning to do.

It sounds like your website is hosted on WP, correct? So what domains are you connecting in HubSpot?

If your main website is hosted outside of HubSpot, you should create and connect a new sub-domain (i.e. content.companyname.com) and not you root domain (www.companyname.com). The relationship between domain and CMS is only ever 1-to-1 or many-to-one. So your WP website would remain as is but you then create different or the same sub-domain for your HubSpot hosted content, i.e.:

I hope that helps.
