How to Point Your MyDevil Domain to Your New Website

If we built your personal-brand site and your domain’s DNS is hosted at MyDevil (the Polish host — nameservers dns1.mydevil.net / dns2.mydevil.net), this is the two-minute change that makes your new site show up on your own domain. We’ll give you one IP address; you paste it into two records and click Save — and your email keeps working, untouched.

There are two ways to connect a domain to a site: change a DNS record, or change the nameservers. For a MyDevil domain we recommend the first one — it’s simpler, it’s reversible, and it keeps your email working because you leave everything else (your MX mail records) exactly as they are.

Method 1 — Edit the A record (recommended)
Keep MyDevil’s nameservers. Change two lines (the A records for @ and www) to our server’s IP. Your mail and every other record stay as they are.
Method 2 — Change nameservers
Hand your whole DNS zone to our host. Only use this if we told you to — it moves all records, so email must be re-created on the new side.

Method 1 — Change the A record at MyDevil (2 minutes)

What you need from us: one IP address, e.g. 34.199.192.119. Use the exact IP in the email we sent you.
  1. Sign in to the MyDevil panel at mydevil.net (the client panel). In the left menu open Domeny (Domains).
  2. Open your domain’s DNS. In the domains list, find your domain and click the DNS button/link next to it. You’ll see the list of DNS records (rekordy DNS).
  3. Edit the root A record. Find the existing A record whose name is your domain / @ (the root). Click edytuj (edit) and change its address to the IP we gave you. Leave Typ as A; the Subdomena / name field stays empty (that means the root domain).
  4. Do the same for www. Make sure there’s an A record with the name www pointing to the same IP. If one already exists, edit it; if not, click Dodaj rekord (Add record), choose Typ A, Subdomena www, and paste the IP.
  5. Leave your mail records alone. Do not change or delete the MX record (mail9.mydevil.net) or your SPF/TXT records — those keep your email working. You’re only touching the two A records.
  6. Save. Confirm each record with zapisz (Save). MyDevil applies DNS changes on its own nameservers within a few minutes. That’s it.
Your DNS should end up looking like this
Name   Type   Value
@      A      34.199.192.119
www    A      34.199.192.119
MX, SPF, TXT  (leave exactly as they are)
Why this keeps your email safe. Your inbox is powered by the MX record, not the A record. Because Method 1 only edits the two A records and leaves your nameservers at MyDevil, your mail (mail9.mydevil.net) never moves and never blinks. That is exactly why we don’t ask you to change nameservers when a domain already has live email.

Method 2 — Change the nameservers (only if we ask)

If we’re going to manage your whole DNS zone, we’ll email you four nameservers (they end in awsdns) instead of an IP. In the MyDevil panel that’s under Domeny → Serwery nazw (NS): remove the existing MyDevil nameservers and add ours, then Save. Because this moves every record, we only ask for it when your domain has no email on it — or after we’ve re-created your mail on the new side. If your domain runs your email, stay on Method 1.

Then wait a little. DNS changes spread across the internet within a few hours — occasionally up to 24. Your site auto-secures with HTTPS once the domain resolves to our server, so there’s nothing else for you to install. If it still isn’t showing after a day, reply to our email and we’ll check it with you.

These steps are for MyDevil but are roughly similar at other registrars — see our companion guides for TransIP and GoDaddy. Changing DNS is simple once you’ve done it once; if anything looks different from what you see in the panel, stop and ask us rather than guessing — a wrong record can take a domain offline.
