In this guide we will walk you through the process to set up a domain and configure DNS records. We will use bunny.net as an example.
What You'll Need
- A bunny.net account (Log in or sign up for a free trial).
- A registered domain name.
Step 1: Access the DNS Section
First, you need to log in to bunny.net dashboard. Once logged in, navigate to the Delivery -> DNS. section.
Step 2: Add a New Domain
Click on 'Create your first domain' or 'Add DNS Zone'.
Step 3: Enter Your Domain Name
You will be prompted to type in your domain name. Enter the domain name you have registered and wish to manage and click 'Add DNS zone' button.
Ensure you enter the domain name correctly to avoid any issues with DNS resolution later on.
This action will create a DNS zone for your domain. A DNS zone is a part of your domain namespace delegated for management under a specific authority.
Step 4: Update Nameservers
Switch your nameservers to bunny.net's nameservers and click the 'Okay, I'm done' button.
Step 5: Add Your DNS Records
Once your nameservers are pointed to your new DNS provider, you can start adding DNS records. DNS records are used to specify how your domain is routed and accessed on the internet.
To add a DNS record click the 'Add Record' button.
Fill in required details and click the 'Add Record' button.
Step 6: You are done
After you have followed all the steps as outlined, the changes will take effect immediately. There is no need to restart or wait for any additional confirmation.
