Setting the DNS
Setting up DNS
Learn how to properly configure your DNS settings to get your webshop online.
What are DNS settings?
DNS ensures that your domain name is converted to an IP address behind the scenes, in this case, the IP address of Afosto's servers.
Adjusting DNS settings
Make sure the settings for your webshop (with and without 'www') are correctly configured. We use the example of the fictional webshop mywebshop.nl.
| Url | TTL | Type | Waarde |
|---|---|---|---|
| www.mijnwebshop.nl | 1 dag | CNAME | mijnwebshop.nl |
| mijnwebshop.nl | 1 dag | A | 93.119.2.173 |
We want mywebshop.nl to be accessible via both www.mywebshop.nl and mywebshop.nl, so we add the settings as described above.
Subdomain only
If your webshop only needs to be accessible via a subdomain, you can use the following example:
| Url | TTL | Type | Waarde |
|---|---|---|---|
| webshop.mijnwebshop.nl | 1 dag | CNAME | lb.afosto.com |
| www.webshop.mijnwebshop.nl | 1 dag | CNAME | lb.afosto.com |
You probably don't need to add the last line (www.webshop.mywebshop.nl), as it is unusual, but it is included here for completeness.
