What are the step-by-step instructions to set up and manage DNS zones for subdomains in CWP7?
How can I set up and manage DNS zones for subdomains in CWP7?
If you’re using the CWP7 (CentOS Web Panel) project for your hosting needs, managing DNS zones for subdomains requires a few simple steps. This article will guide you through the process in a step-by-step manner.
Step 1: Accessing the DNS Management
To start managing the DNS zones, log in to your CWP7 control panel. If you’re not familiar with CWP7, you can check out our hosting services at www.freespirits.gr or www.fspirits.com.
Step 2: Navigating to DNS Functions
Once you’re logged in, look for the “DNS Functions” section in your control panel. Click on it to proceed.
Step 3: Adding a Subdomain
In the DNS Functions section, you’ll find various options. To add a subdomain, click on the “Add a DNS Zone” button. This will take you to a page where you can create and manage DNS zones.
Step 4: Configuring DNS Zone Details
On the DNS Zone page, you’ll see a form to fill in the details of your subdomain. Provide the following information:
- Domain: Enter the name of your subdomain (e.g., subdomain.yourdomain.com).
- IP: Choose the IP address to associate with the subdomain. You can select an existing IP from the drop-down menu.
- Template: Select the appropriate template for your subdomain. The template will define the DNS records associated with the subdomain.
Once you’ve filled in the details, click on the “Add” button to create the subdomain and its corresponding DNS zone.
Step 5: Managing DNS Zone Records
Now that your subdomain’s DNS zone is created, you can manage its DNS records. Click on the “Edit DNS Zone” button next to the subdomain in the DNS Functions section.
In the DNS Zone editor, you can add, edit, or delete DNS records for your subdomain. Common types of DNS records include A, CNAME, MX, and TXT records. Take care when modifying DNS records, as incorrect settings can affect your subdomain’s functionality.
Step 6: Saving Changes
Once you’ve made the necessary changes to your subdomain’s DNS records, click on the “Save DNS Zone” button to apply the modifications.
That’s it! You have successfully set up and managed DNS zones for subdomains using CWP7.
