Point your domain's DNS to your VPS

Before a domain can serve your site, its DNS must point at your server's IP address.

What you need

• Your server's IPv4 address, shown on the server page in the panel.
• Access to your domain registrar or DNS provider (where you bought the domain).

Steps

1. Log in to your domain registrar or DNS provider.
2. Create an A record for the domain pointing to your server's IPv4 address:
   • Host @ (root domain) → your server IP.
   • Host www → your server IP (or a CNAME to the root).
3. Save the changes.

Wait for propagation

DNS changes can take from a few minutes up to a few hours to spread across the internet. Once the domain resolves to your IP, return to the Domains section and enable SSL.

Tip

If you use a proxy such as Cloudflare, point the A record there and set it to "DNS only" while you issue the SSL certificate, then re-enable the proxy if you want it.
