Pointage DNS : Putting the site online
Your domain name and your hosting are not necessarily reserved in the same place. The Internet is flexible.
To connect the two, you need to "associate" your domain name with your hosting. This is done via the DNS system, which directs domain names on the Internet to the right IP, the right server, and ultimately the right web host.
There are two ways to do this:
- Perform DNS pointing to the correct IP manually with host information
- Set your host's DNS and everything is automatic
✅ At LRob, we recommend the second option, which is readily available and simpler: just enter our DNS, and you're done. everything is configured automatically Your emails, your website - it's all up and running. No need to juggle complex settings.

There are two ideal options:
- Installing a ready-to-use theme Quick and easy to use, with a well-thought-out design. Ideal for getting started.
- Use Full Site Editing (FSE) a new WordPress feature that lets you build your entire site with blocks, without coding. Lightweight, modern and ultra-flexible.
Don't be tempted by "builders" like Elementor or Divi: these solutions are cumbersome, sometimes costly, and are becoming less and less advantageous compared to FSE, which is free, open-source and high-performance.
