Forwarding and subdomains

Posted By i_lake_stevens_us

Hello, I recently purchased my dynadot domain name, and forwarded the domain to my website IP. However, now when I try to do this, it displays a blank page, and has no redirect. What am I supposed to do to fix this?

Also, since I bought this domain for use with a Minecraft server, I am trying to make a subdomain that redirects to my IP. How would I do this?

Sorry, I've never done this before :|

Looks like you've already gotten everything set-up, but you can create records for your main domain and for your subdomains on our DNS page.

How do I set up DNS for my domain?

To set up DNS for your domain, please follow these steps:

Sign in to your Dynadot account.
Select "My Domains" from the left-side menu bar and click "Manage Domains" in the drop-down.
Check the box next to your domain name(s) and click on the "Action" button.
Choose "DNS Settings" from the "Action" list.
On the DNS Settings page, select the "Dynadot DNS" setting from the top drop-down menu.
Choose the "Record Type" you want to use from the drop-down menu, then enter the IP Address or Target Host of your web server in the text box.
If you have an Email Server or MX Record available for your domain email, enter the priority (otherwise known as distance) and the hostname in the subsequent text boxes.
You can also specify subdomain records in the "Subdomain Records(optional)" section the same way you do to the "Domain Record(optional)".
Press the "Save Settings" button to save your changes.

Please be aware that it might take some time for your name server changes to propagate.

There are certain steps for each record type as well, the most common are:

A record:

CNAME:

MX record:

TXT Record:

DKIM:

SPF:

Note: If you have been instructed to add an "@", this simply means that the record should be entered under the "Domain Record (optional)" section. The "@" itself should not be entered.
