How to point a domain to your VPS

    To send website traffic to your VPS, create DNS records at your domain DNS provider.

    For a website

    • Create an A record pointing to your VPS IPv4 address.
    • Create an AAAA record if you are using IPv6.
    • Create a CNAME for aliases such as www if needed.

    Example

    example.nz.      A      YOUR_SERVER_IP
www.example.nz.  CNAME  example.nz.

    Propagation

    DNS changes can take time to appear everywhere. This depends on TTL values and DNS caching.
