VPS

Configure DNS

Set up DNS records for your domain to point to your SHC VPS.

Point Your Domain to SHC

After your VPS is provisioned, you'll receive a dedicated IPv4 address. Configure your domain's DNS records to point to your server.

A Record

Create an A record pointing your domain to your server's IP:

Type: A
Name: @ (or your subdomain)
Value: YOUR_SERVER_IP
TTL: 3600

AAAA Record (Optional)

If your server has an IPv6 address:

Type: AAAA
Name: @
Value: YOUR_SERVER_IPV6
TTL: 3600

Common Subdomains

Type: A    Name: www     Value: YOUR_SERVER_IP
Type: A    Name: mail    Value: YOUR_SERVER_IP
Type: A    Name: api     Value: YOUR_SERVER_IP

Verify DNS Propagation

After updating DNS, verify propagation:

dig +short yourdomain.com A
nslookup yourdomain.com

DNS changes typically propagate within 1-4 hours, though some providers may take up to 48 hours.

Reverse DNS (rDNS)

For email servers, contact support to set up reverse DNS (PTR record) for your IP address. This is required for proper email deliverability.
