Linking a domain name to a Versio hosting account

When creating a website, the first step is getting your domain name. Now you want to link this domain to a web hosting account. Linking a domain name to a web hosting account can be done in two ways. You can link the domain automatically in the customer panel or manually. We will explain both options below.
