Sample Configurations

So you understand what the different record types are but you still would like some sample configurations? No problem, here are some of the most common configurations our users need. These are just samples and do not indicate how you should set up your domain.

Note: Most of these configurations take for granted that your mail server is configured properly.

Topics covered in this lesson:

"I have one static / dynamic IP and I want to host multiple domains."

Note: We will give an example for a static IP. Of course for a dynamic IP you would put the TTL to much lower values. Also remember that the host record for the root domain must be an A record. The example will show you this.

The domains are dnsmadeeasy.com., example.com., and thewwwinternet.com..

Domain:
dnsmadeeasy.com.
IP:
static at 192.168.1.2
