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.
"I only
have one static IP and I want to host my domain."
The domain is dnsmadeeasy.com..
Domain:
dnsmadeeasy.com.
IP:
static at 192.168.1.2

Note: In the DNS Made Easy system if you
leave the name field blank (in the record modification page) it
will default to be the record for your base domain.
"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., tiggee.com., and
thewwwinternet.com..
