Domain management

You can manage your domains in the customer portal at https://portal.ip-projects.de.

To do this, log in to the customer portal and select the entry Domains / DNS on the left side.

Now you can see the overview of your domains. In the column of the respective domain you have the administration on the right side. Here you have two options. NS and RR. Under NS you manage your nameservers, under RR the DNS records.

Here you can edit the nameservers. By default, our nameservers are set here, which you can use free of charge.

To set your own nameservers, simply check the box Own nameserver and enter an e-mail address where you will be informed as soon as the change is completed.

Then enter the name server(s) and confirm with save. The changes will then be applied and as soon as they are completed, you will receive an e-mail notification.

The administration of the DNS records is done via the item RR. Here you can adjust the entries for your domain.

First of all you have here the settings for

The default TTL - The default TTL is set for all entries, if an entry has no other value stored.

The main IP - the main IP is an A record for an IP(v4) address of the domain (A record for yourdomain.com)

The www. entry - here also a www entry is set for the same IP(v4) address

Further you can add self defined DNS entries.

Each line represents one entry. For each entry you also have some options.

Here you can create the subdomain, the entry presented to the domain. If you want to set example.yourdomain.com, enter example in this field.

To set a wildcard entry, use "*" (without quotes).

With a wildcard entry you set all entries to one destination.

As an example:

*.yourdomain.com with 1.2.3.4

If xyz.yourdomain.com is called, the request goes to 1.2.3.4

xyz can be replaced by anything here.

However, a wildcard entry does not exclude another entry. A regular entry is preferred to a wildcard entry. I.e. in the example from above, if you still set a test.yourdomain.com with the IP 2.3.4.5, requests from test.yourdomain.com will be routed to 2.3.4.5, for all other entries it will still go to 1.2.3.4.

Here you can enter a TTL (time to life). This entry can differ from the standard TTL, but it does not have to be set. If no TTL is set, the standard TTL is used.

The TTL is there to tell users how long the entry is valid until they query the entry again and not load it from the user cache.

The entry of the type is essential. It defines what kind of content the entry has. There are different types, with different contents. The important
