Introduction

  • A DNS A record associates a domain or subdomain with the IP address of the server hosting that domain or subdomain;
  • The ISPConfig control panel allows you to set these records via the DNS menu.

Requirements

  • The administration details of the ISPConfig panel received in the email inbox associated with the Hostico account when the VPS was activated.
  • The IP address we want to associate with the A record (We will use 188.241.222.89 as an example). 

Steps 

  • First, we will connect to the ISPConfig control panel using one of the access addresses: https://SERVERNAME:10200 or https://SERVER_IP:10200 or https://DOMAIN.XX:10200

After logging in, on the next page we will click the DNS button.

To view the DNS area we are making changes to, click on the associated domain name;

Next, we will click on the green button with the text "A";

The fields on the next page will be modified as follows:

  • Hostname: We will complete the DNS registration name for which we want to associate an IP;
  • IP-Address: In this field we will enter the IP to which we want to direct the registration;
  • TTL: It will be set to 3600;
  • Active: It will remain checked for the registration to be active;

To save, we will click the Save button at the bottom of the page.

Propagation of these records may take a few hours. We recommend clearing your browser's cache and/or the DNS cache of the operating system before checking;

DNS propagation is the amount of time required for DNS changes to be updated on the internet.
