DNS

On the DNS page you put your domains on the panel's nameservers and manage their records: where the website points, mail, service verifications. Changes reach the DNS servers in a few seconds.

Adding a domain

  1. New domain: type the domain (e.g. example.com). If you like, point it right away to one of your VPSs: the panel creates the domain's record and www.
  2. At the registrar (where you bought the domain) set as nameservers the ones shown on the domain's page. The change can take a few hours; the page shows when the domain uses our nameservers.

Records

  • A and AAAA: the IPv4 or IPv6 address the name points to. You can pick your VPSs' addresses.
  • CNAME: a name that is an alias of another one (not on the domain itself).
  • MX: the servers that receive mail (lower priority = tried first).
  • TXT: service verifications, SPF, DKIM, DMARC. Type the text without quotes.
  • SRV, CAA: services and the authorities allowed to issue certificates.
  • NS: delegates a subdomain to other nameservers.

An empty name (or @) is the domain itself; *.app applies to every name under app. The TTL is how long resolvers keep the answer: after a change, those who already have the old value keep it until it expires.

To bring a domain here from another provider, export the zone there and use Import. Export downloads the zone.

Reverse DNS

The reverse DNS (PTR) of your VPSs' IPs is changed on the VPS page, Network box, when available.
