![Common DNS Configurations](common-dns-configurations-title-graphic.jpg "Common DNS Configurations") | ||
|
||
## Set Up a Domain | ||
|
||
The most common DNS configuration is a single domain name on a single Linode. For this, you'll need to add *SOA* and *NS records* for all of your name servers, and *A/AAAA* records for your domain names. Use the screenshot below as a guide. | ||
|
||
[![The SOA record is set to "ns1.linode.com". The NS records are set to "ns1.linode.com" through "ns5.linode.com", inclusive. The MX record is set to "mail.example.org". There are A records for [blank], which is the primary domain, and the "mail" and "www" subdomains. They are all set to the same IP.](1121-dns9.png)](1121-dns9.png) | ||
|
||
{{< note >}} | ||
The DNS Manager can automatically add all of these records when you create a domain zone. For instructions, see [Adding Domain Zones](/docs/networking/dns/dns-manager#add-a-domain-zone) in the [DNS Manager](/docs/networking/dns/dns-manager) guide. | ||
{{< /note >}} | ||
|
||
## Configure Subdomains | ||
|
||
To configure a subdomain, such as `staging.example.org`, create an A record with the subdomain's hostname. Point the record at the IP address of the server you want to host the subdomain: | ||
|
||
[![Create a new A record, following the instructions in the "Adding" section. Add the subdomain text to the "Hostname" field. For example, you could type "staging" - NOT "staging.example.org".](1125-dns13.png)](1125-dns13.png) | ||
|
||
## Host Multiple Domains on a Single Server | ||
|
||
To host multiple domain names on a single server, create a separate domain zone for each domain name as shown below. When creating the new domain zones, we recommend that you allow the DNS Manager to automatically [insert basic records](/docs/networking/dns/dns-manager#add-a-domain-zone). At a minimum, you'll need an A record for each domain name pointing to the server's IP address. | ||
|
||
[![This page shows the DNS Manager tab with three different domain zones listed.](1126-dns15.png)](1126-dns15.png) | ||
|
||
## Use One Domain on Multiple Servers | ||
|
||
If you have more than one server, but only one domain name, you can point A records with server-specific hostnames to all servers that need domain names. One machine will be the "front end" for the domain, by virtue of the first-level domain's A record pointing to it, but the domain can serve as a proxy for services provided by other machines if needed. For example, if you wanted to create a development environment on another server, you could create an A record for `staging.example.org` and point it at another Linode's IP address. | ||
|
||
## Route Email to Third-Party Mail Services | ||
|
||
To route email to a third-party email service, create MX records that associate your mail server (for example, `mail.example.org`) with a *hostname* provided by the third-party service. For instructions, see the website of your third-party email service. | ||
|
||
## Use Wildcard DNS Records | ||
|
||
A *wildcard* DNS record matches requests for non-existent domain names. For example, if you create an A record for `*.example.org`, and a user visits `nonexistantname.example.org`, that user will be redirected to `example.org`. An example wildcard DNS record is shown below. | ||
|
||
[![Create a new A record, following the instructions in the "Adding" section. Add a single asterisk (\*) in the "Hostname" field. Set your IP address in the "IP Address" field. Then click the "Save Changes" button.](1127-dns16.png)](1127-dns16.png) |
