Create a Coming soon lander

Show a launch message, an optional countdown and a contact email while your website is being prepared.

Before you start

  • Add your domains to My Domains first.
  • A lander group shares its template and page settings across its assigned domains. Check the selected domain list before saving.
  • Changing nameservers can affect an existing website or email service. Check the domain’s current use before connecting a lander.

    Connect the domain

    For a domain registered with DNX, open My Domains, open the domain, then click Nameservers. Choose DNX Landers and save: the preset uses ns1.dnx.com and ns2.dnx.com. For a domain registered elsewhere, set these nameservers at its registrar. Allow DNS changes to take effect, then visit the domain.

What happens next

Open the group to check its landers, then visit a connected domain to check what visitors see.

Why can’t I continue?

Message is required. If Show countdown timer is enabled, enter the target date and time too. In the next step, give the group a name and select at least one domain.

Can I change to a sales page later?

Open Selling → Landers, click Edit group, and review Type & template. Changing the group affects its assigned domains, so check Page settings and Summary before saving.
