Posted: Wed Jan 22, 2025 5:54 am
To bind a domain name to a virtual dedicated server, you need to configure the DNS server. The procedure that the administrator needs to take for this depends on whether the user's VPS has a server control panel installed, and if so, which one. Let's take a practical look at the process of attaching a domain to a VDS from Eurobyte without an admin panel and with integrated ispmanager. Detailed instructions are in the article.
How to link a domain to a VPS without a control panel
If the user has purchased a domain from the same hosting provider pakistan whatsapp number database from which he rents a VDS, the website address will be automatically linked to the server where his files are stored. In this case, no additional actions are required from the web resource administrator. However, sometimes users purchase a domain from third-party registrars or transfer a project to a server belonging to another host, so they need to link the domain name to the IP address of the new VDS. If the hosting does not have a control panel, this can be done in two ways: by entering the appropriate A-records in the domain name system (DNS) or by purchasing an additional IP address and setting up your own NS for the domain.
Connect a domain to a VPS using an A record
Setting up A-records is the preferred way to connect a domain to VPS. An A-record is an indication of the correspondence between a domain name and an IPv4 address. They are used by providers to find the server storing the site data and to forward a request received from a visitor to it.
A-type records include: www (designation for a web server), mail (for a mail server), ftp (for a server intended for data exchange). They ensure the operation of such names as
Note: AAAA records are created for IPv6 addresses.
Place your domains on a DNS service (you can use a free one) or use the DNS zone of a domain registrar (if it provides such a service). In the control panel of the selected service, create a new a-record. For example, in ClouDNS there is a button "Add a new record" for this.
