DNS (Wordpress)¶
Add DNS Records¶
Important
This is only for Wordpress hosted by Tocco. Self-hosted solutions will need other records.
Finding the Right Instructions¶
Pattern |
Examples |
Record |
|---|---|---|
{domain}.{tld} |
example.ch
example.net
|
|
www.{domain}.{tld} |
www.example.net
www.example.ch
|
|
{subdomain}.{domain}.{tld} |
admin.example.net
intranet.example.net
www.example.net
web.dgh.tocco.ch
web.dghtest.tocco.ch
|
${INSTALLATION_NAME}.wp.tocco.ch¶
Create a CNAME pointing to the corresponding server:
example.net 3600 IN ALIAS wp1.prod.tocco.ch
; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
; Replace this with the actual server's name
Root Domain (example.net)¶
For root domains, an ALIAS is to be used:
example.net 3600 IN ALIAS exampleinc.wp.tocco.ch.
; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
; ${INSTALLATION_NAME}.wp.tocco.ch.
Note
What if type ALIAS is not available?
Type ALIAS is sometimes known as ANAME:
example.net 3600 IN ANAME exampleinc.wp.tocco.ch.
; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
; ${INSTALLATION_NAME}.wp.tocco.ch.
Iff ALIAS and ANAME aren’t available, create both of the following records instead:
; IPv4
example.net. 3600 IN A ?.?.?.?
; IPv6
example.net. 3600 IN AAAA ????:????::????
Replace ?.?.?.? / ????:????::???? according to this list:
Host |
IPv4 |
IPv6 |
|---|---|---|
wp1.prod.tocco.ch |
195.15.210.114 |
2001:1600:13:100:f816:3eff:fe07:411c |
wp1.stage.tocco.ch |
84.16.72.78 |
2001:1600:13:102:f816:3eff:fe65:8eb1 |
Special Case www¶
www.some-domain.tld should point to the root domain:
www.example.net 3600 IN CNAME example.net.
^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^
; root domain root domain
Subdomain (some-name.example.net)¶
Subdomains, with the exception of www, should point to ${INSTALLATION}.wp.tocco.ch:
intranet.example.net 3600 IN CNAME exampleinc.wp.tocco.ch.
; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
; ${INSTALLATION_NAME}.tocco.ch.
