Connecting your domain to Format

Hover offers the Connect tool for select hosting providers to simplify the domain connection process. All of the required DNS settings will be automatically added to your domain when using this tool. There is up to a 48-hour propagation time for the connection to settle.

The domain must use Hover nameservers to use the connect tool. Changing nameservers may disrupt the website or email services linked to the domain, as changing the nameservers to Hover moves the domain settings management to our system.

  1. Sign in to your Hover control panel using your chosen method of 2FA.
    Note: If you have multiple domains, you will need to select the domain name from the list of your domains on the control panel.

  3. Click on the Connect tab or More within the connect window.3._Connect_Tab_.png
  4. Locate Format from the list of connect partners, then press Select.4._locate_format.png
  5. Make sure to add the domain name to your Format account. Enter only your Format website name, then click Connect. 5._connect_to_format.png
