Understanding DNS Configuration Fundamentals for VPS Hosting

Knowing DNS Records

DNS records are vital for the internet, translating domain names into IP addresses, ensuring smooth traffic flow to your VPS-hosted website.

Step 1: Accessing Your VPS

– Log in to your VPS hosting provider's dashboard or control panel. – Access the DNS management section or a similar feature, depending on your provider.

Step 2: Adding DNS Records

Select your desired DNS record type (A, CNAME, MX, etc.), then input essential details like hostname, IP address, or domain for redirection.

Step 3: Configuring A Records

– A records (Address Records) map domain names to IP addresses. – Add A records for your domain pointing to the IP address of your VPS.

Step 4: Setting up CNAME Records

For subdomains or aliases, utilize CNAME records to direct them to your main domain or specific locations on your VPS.

Step 5: Verifying and Testing

– Double-check all DNS records for accuracy. – Use online tools or command-line utilities to verify DNS propagation. – Test your website to ensure it loads correctly from your domain.
