Make Web Hosting Accessible (DNS)

Domain also registered with Servercow?

Then this guide might be of interest to you: Edit DNS Settings

To correctly link your domain with our web hosting servers, you need to adjust the DNS records at your domain registrar or DNS provider. This ensures that your domain is accessible via both IPv4 and IPv6.

Required DNS Records

Please add the following DNS records or adjust existing ones accordingly:

A Record (IPv4)

  • Type: A
  • Name: @ (represents the main domain, e.g., example.com)
  • Value: You can find the IPv4 address for each domain configured in Plesk under: "Hosting" -> "IP Addresses"
  • TTL: Recommended 3600 seconds (1 hour)

AAAA Record (IPv6)

  • Type: AAAA
  • Name: @
  • Value: You can find the IPv6 address for each domain configured in Plesk under: "Hosting" -> "IP Addresses"
  • TTL: Recommended 3600 seconds

Optional: www Subdomain

If you want your domain to also be accessible via www.example.com, add the following entries:

  • Type: A
  • Name: www
  • Value: You can find the IPv4 address for each domain configured in Plesk under: "Hosting" -> "IP Addresses"

  • TTL: 3600

  • Type: AAAA

  • Name: www
  • Value: You can find the IPv6 address for each domain configured in Plesk under: "Hosting" -> "IP Addresses"
  • TTL: 3600

Notes

  • @ represents the main domain (e.g., example.com).
  • TTL (Time to Live) specifies how long the entry is cached in the DNS. A value of 3600 seconds is a good starting point.
  • Changes to DNS records can take up to 24 hours to propagate worldwide (DNS propagation).
  • Ensure there are no conflicting entries to avoid issues.

Verifying DNS Records

After configuration, you can verify the DNS records using the following tools:

dig A example.com
dig AAAA example.com
