Hi,
I was wondering if using DNS to connect to ones bplaced website requires a paid plan of bplaced and not just the free plan? And if so, is it possible to upgrade one’s current account and keep your website and everything as it was?
Sincerely,
Joakim
Hi,
you can use bplaced’s DNS servers if you upgrade to (at least) bplaced pro (Source: bplaced mit united domains verknüpfen).
Yes, the upgrade does not affect your current account or data, it just activates the additional functionality.
Best regards 
Oh that’s nice, and I can use domains bought on other DNS websites right? And It costs 3€/month, no additional costs for specific functions on the plan?
Sincerely
Should be possible but to be extra sure you can issue a support ticket or wait until some of the staff respond here.
Best regards
What do you mean? That staff can’t be waited on or that I should wait for staff? 
Sincerely
Well, they usually respond in this forum - just have a little patience
I see, I’ll do so. Thanks for all the help!
hi
the support staff at https://my.bplaced.net/support is your way to go 
bplaced pro adds DNS functionality to all your (second level) domains, e.g. domain.com - you also may switch it over to us as of bplaced max, given the usually low annual fee there (see our Domain Center), while having SSH, E-Mail, Cronjobs and dedicated even more powered servers.
Any upgrades are of course without data loss.
What is your actual question?
Do you already have a 3rd party domain and just want to point it to your webspace on bplaced? If so, that doesn’t require any additional plan.
If you want to use the bplaced DNS, that ofcourse requires the 2nd+ lvl plan.
I want to use Namecheap’s DNS using bplaced.net’s IP, that’s what I mean. And as I understand it that too is for 2nd+ plan.
Well, looks like I guessed correctly.
You do not need anything beyond free tier, to simply point your domain (via DNS) to bplaced.
Simply create a CNAME and map your domain to your bplaced domain.
e.g.
CNAME: your-domain.foo -> your-bplaced-user.bplaced.net
All thats left for u to do, is simply add your domain via bplaced portal-thingy at https://my.bplaced.net/domains
It really is a shame that the translation still isn’t finished (it’s almost been a year) so you either have to deal with deepl/gtranslate or take guesses.
Dear snowflake,
It’s a pleasure to get to know you virtually.
I wonder if you can help because I’m quite new & just tried to hook up with bplaced hosting using the complimentary freestyle service as I recently got my namecheap domain up for a school blog project.
The domain is actualy connecting with namecheap’s basicDNS & I’ve created a CNAME record to point to bplaced domain webspace together with submitting A record (IPv4), AAAA record (IPv6) to the namecheap’s DNS settings that were given during bspaced domain setup via its portal. The control center says the FTP access has been granted but the service period will end on Jan 29 2026 so basically freestyle hosting service is free for 3 months only, is it true? Should I need to look for another service by then?
Now in the namecheap DNS settings do I still need to keep namecheap CNAME record or just remove it? Any conflict or interference with bspaced hosting service that I need to pay attention to can you please advise?
Namecheap also asked me to set the ALIAS record for bspaced, should I create it?
I entered the domain in a web browser & saw the Apache server has already been up (with MyAdmin.php, PgAdmin.php & live access.php links), could you please help to clarify: does this mean everything goes well so far? If I want to create a blog with the domain how should I get start with? Where should I turn to for blog’s theme, templates,… any suggestions & recommendations are really appreciated.
Thank you in advance & have a wonderful evening!
Best
