IONOS (1&1) DNS setup for BlogPath

What you are configuring

• Record type: CNAME
• Host: blog (or your chosen hostname in BlogPath)
• Points to: proxy.blogpath.io
• TTL: leave default (1 hour is fine)

Steps in IONOS

1. Log in → Domains & SSL → select your domain.
2. Click DNS.
3. Scroll to CNAME records and click Add Record.
4. Host name: blog (or your subdomain).
5. Points to: proxy.blogpath.io.
6. TTL: default.
7. Save.

Apex note

IONOS does not allow CNAME at apex. Keep apex A/ALIAS for your main site. Use a subdomain for BlogPath and set the BlogPath fallback origin to your main site to keep non-blog traffic working.

Verify

In BlogPath, open DNS check → Verify. If it fails, remove any existing A/AAAA record on the same host.
