Managing domains can be a challenging and complex task, especially if you have either multiple domains or use different services for your DNS and hosting.
With RunCloud, you can integrate your domains with Cloudflare, which is a leading DNS and CDN service that provides fast, secure, and reliable delivery of your web content.
To manage your DNS records, click on the “DNS Manager” tab in the left menu to view your domains. If you don’t see anything there, make sure that your Cloudflare account has been integrated with RunCloud and then select your API key from the drop-down menu on the top of the screen.
To edit the DNS settings, click on the domain of your choice, which will open up a new page. On this page, you can see a number of options. You can add or modify different types of DNS records, such as A, AAAA, CNAME, TXT, MX, etc. You can also set the TTL value, and enable or disable the Cloudflare proxy for each record.
Here is a brief explanation of each DNS record type:
- A record: This is the most common type of DNS record. It maps a domain name to an IPv4 address. For example,
example.com
can have an A record that points to192.0.2.1
. - AAAA record: This is similar to an A record, but it maps a domain name to an IPv6 address. For example,
example.com
can have an AAAA record that points to2001:db8::1
. - CNAME record: This is a type of DNS record that maps one domain name to another domain name. It is used to create aliases or subdomains for the same website. For example,
www.example.com
can have a CNAME record that points toexample.com
. - MX record: This is a type of DNS record that specifies the mail server that handles the email for a domain name. It is used to direct email messages to the right destination. For example,
example.com
can have an MX record that points tomail.example.com
. - TXT record: This is a type of DNS record that contains arbitrary text data. It is used for various purposes, such as verifying domain ownership, providing SPF (Sender Policy Framework) information, or adding comments or notes.
Once a record has been added, click on “Save Record“. The records that you have added or modified will be displayed at the bottom of the page. You can click on any record to update its values or delete it.
