Option 1: nameservers (Hunati web hosting)
For a Hunati web hosting account, change the nameservers of your domain at your registrar to:
- ns1.hunati.com
- ns2.hunati.com
Then add the domain in DirectAdmin. The step-by-step version with screenshots is on docs.hunati.com.
Option 2: DNS records (your own VPS)
Keep your current DNS provider and create these records:
| Type | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| A | @ | the IPv4 address of your VPS |
| A | www | the IPv4 address of your VPS |
| MX | @ | your mail server, if you use email |
Bonus: a domain for your Minecraft server
Create an A record such as play.yourdomain.com pointing to your server IP. If the server uses a port other than 25565, add an SRV record named _minecraft._tcp.play with your port.
How long does it take?
DNS changes usually work within minutes to a few hours. Nameserver changes for some extensions can take up to 24 to 48 hours. Free SSL certificates can be issued once the domain points to the server.
