Confused?
If there is anything unclear, please contact us. We are always glad to help.Domains externally registered
If you want to use an externally registered domain with your PYROX hosting account you have two choices:
Specify our three DNS servers in your domain record (recommended):
ns1.pyrox-ns.de ns2.pyrox-ns.eu ns3.pyrox-ns.com
Specify CNAME and MX records [1]:
*.example.com IN CNAME example.com.pyrox-hosted.eu foo.example.com IN CNAME foo.example.com.pyrox-hosted.eu bar.example.com IN CNAME bar.example.com.pyrox-hosted.eu example.com IN MX 10 mx1.pyrox.eu example.com IN MX 10 mx2.pyrox.eu
If you want to use the primary domain via HTTP (e.g. http://example.com/) and do not want to use the PYROX nameservers, you need to configure a redirect at your domain registrar. CNAME records can only be used for subdomains of a zone.
Attention!
Setting A records to our IP addresses is totally unsupported and will break sooner or later. From time to time we add new machines to our hosting cluster in order to distribute the load. Therefore we can not guarantee that one IP will serve website for a very long time. In order to allow us to make those dynamic changes it is required that no A records points to IPs in our hosting cluster directly.
| [1] | If your provides does not support wildcard CNAME records you need to manually specify all the domains you want to use. Since the IP addresses differ for websites with SSL certificates you MUST specify those subdomains manually and forward them to the right subdomain. ssl.example.com must be a CNAME record to ssl.example.com.pyrox-hosted.eu. Using example.com.pyrox-hosted.eu will NOT work. |
