3. Type in the domain that you wish to add as an alias. We recommend having all redirections turned off as show below as at the time, they will not be automatically applied.

4. Once you've added your domain as an alias, you will need to point its A record(s) to your Gate.com server IP.

  • If you are using Gate.com’s nameservers for your domain, you can add the necessary record from your Client Portal. For instructions on how to manage/add DNS records through your Client Portal, please visit the related article here.
  • If you are using a 3rd party dns provider, you will have to add the record from their control panel. Here’s the record value:

 

Type: A
