We have the website running on a temporary address and everything is ready, but we still can't access it using the final domain, which is with another provider. What should we do?
We just need to configure the DNS records with the provider where we have the domain, so that when a visitor tries to access our website, the DNS servers direct them to Libnamic Hosting. It's that simple! Another option is to transfer the domain to Libnamic, so you have everything in one place, and we take care of the DNS for you. It's up to you.
In this article, we will provide the typical DNS records for Libnamic Hosting websites so you can set it up on your own. Let's get started.
A and AAAA Records
These records are responsible for informing visitors of the server address they need to connect to in order to load the website. A records are for IPv4, and AAAA records are for IPv6. The latter are optional, but we recommend configuring them as well.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Since Libnamic Hosting is based on a cluster of servers and your website can run on different servers, all traffic enters through what we call load balancers. These servers are responsible for receiving the traffic and directing it to the cluster servers. Regarding DNS records, this means that the addresses will usually be the same for all your websites, as your websites are not tied to any specific server, and the entry points are these load balancers. Thanks to this system, your website has better availability and does not depend on the health of a single server, as in shared hosting.
A Records (it is recommended to configure two):
- 78.47.245.56
- 144.76.55.228
- 195.201.45.60
- 195.201.45.98
AAAA Records:
- 2a01:4f8:1c17:8097::2
Email records
Email requires its own DNS records. Proper configuration of these rules will ensure that your messages reach all recipients, minimizing the chance of landing in the spam folder. Here is a brief explanation of each type:
- MX Records: These inform the world of the address where messages should be sent in order to reach your domain’s accounts.
- SPF: This is a TXT record that specifies which servers are allowed to send mail from your domain. It's very useful because it allows servers receiving emails to distinguish between your legitimate emails and fake ones sent by third-party servers pretending to be you.
- DMARC: A TXT record that tells recipient mail servers what to do when verifying the authenticity of received messages.
- DKIM: This is the public key for the encryption used for the messages you send. By publishing this part of the key, the servers receiving your messages can verify they were actually sent by you and haven't been altered. We generate this key for each client, and you can find it in the email management area. This related article explains how to find the DKIM rule.
