Setting A DNS Record On A Domain

Started Last edited

For doing this, you first need to own a Domain.

You can do this for example at Cloudflare: https://developers.cloudflare.com/registrar/get-started/register-domain/

But seriously, just go with whatever “domain registrar reddit” suggests when you’re reading this.

After having a domain registered, you can add a DNS record to this domain.

Let’s say you have a server with a public IP (like 1.12.234.45), and want to have a service available on “photos.your.domain”. Then you need to do this:

  1. Choose the A record type
  2. Set the name to “photos”
  3. Set the IPv4 address to 1.12.234.45

And that’s it. :)
