How do i link domain from one.com to digitalOcean.com?


I have a domain name bought at one.com but cant seem to get the dns settup correctly. I followed this turorial from digital ocean (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-a-host-name-with-digitalocean) where I am instructed to use dns from one.com to my site. In this tutorial (http://www.one.com/en/support/guide/manage-your-dns-settings) they explain how to set up the dns, but i dont know witch option to choose. Should i select Web forward, A record, AAAA record, CNAME or TXT records? Thanks in advance


Solution

  • The A record is the one you should use. A RFC 1035 Address record Returns a 32-bit IPv4 address, most commonly used to map hostnames to an IP address of the host, but it is also used for DNSBLs, storing subnet masks in RFC 1101, etc.
