A Record
Mar 30, 2009
i have a simple reseller account to give my clients some hosting space. one specific client keeps the domain registered with his current domain registrar. to point the domain name at his new hosting account (provided by me) he's saying that he just needs the "a-record", not the nameservers that i gave him originally. i can not seem to find an a-record for my hosting accounts anywhere ...
my hosting support is saying the client will just need the IP address. but afaik ip address is not == a-record
can anyone clarify what an a-record is exactly and whether or not it can be interchanged with an ip address?
this is for a .co.uk domain name and my reseller account is with hostgator

Common scenario; email sent from our server to Yahoo does not arrive. It is so bad that we have a 23% order completion rate for Yahoo users. To compare, Gmail is 83%.
We send emails to confirm registration, and also to remind users to complete their invoices.
Our setup is like so:
User registers at registration.domain.com, a different server to domain.com.
Upon registering an email is sent to the user using the registration.domain.com web server but with a from address of info@domain.com
Our info@domain.com email address is hooked up to Google Apps as this is who we use to manage our inbox.
how to construct our SPF records? I am slightly confused as we have a mail server, a different reply to domain and MX records with Google..

I would like to setup SPF record for my domain. I am using Google Apps for the domain.
But I will also be sending mail from my vps server. Hence what should I use?
Quote:
v=spf1 a include:aspmx.googlemail.com ~all
or
Quote:
v=spf1 a mx ~all
If both works, which one is better? I will be sending emails from subdomains of my main site too, so do I need to anything special for that?
I am using ~all instead of -all, because I sometimes send emails from my development server(which is having dynamic ip). Hence I don't want those emails to rejected, even if they are marked as spam.[url]

If my SPF record would be the following: domain.com. 14400 IN TXT "v=spf1 ip4:78.129.143.155 a mx a:.mail.saunalahti.fi -all"
Would mail sent from whatever@domain.com get sent through gw01.mail.saunalahti.fi (Would the SPF record allow it?) or would I have to specify a:gw01.mail.saunalahti.fi in the SPF record?

Currently we use a short SPF record that is inserted to the customers DNS file when the account is created....
"v=spf1 a mx ~all"
I was wondering do you guys/gals have a standard SPF record, one that is tested and works or do you think the above entry is sufficent?

how to add an SPF record to my web hosting company's domain? The thing I'm scared of is blocking or messing up what works fine now.
My server (say myhostingcompany.com) is a mix of all kinds of services, some customers send mail through my server, some through they're ISP (so they're domain's DNS is with me) and all kinds of strange things.
How can I add a "risk free" SPF record?

Which file do I need to open on a Unix server to add a PTR record? Sorry, I'm clueless about DNS but I think if I could find the file, I can add the PTR record by piecing together what I've found through searching the Internet.

Here are the scenarios :
1. This Dedicated Server don't have main domain name but I use something like hostname.domain.com for the hostname.
2. The nameservers I use are something like ns21.domain.com and ns22.domain.com which I registered it already on my domain registrar.
3. Domain.com is use on other Dedicated server
Are these kind of setup okay? or should I really changed the hostname.domain.com to something else that is hosted on the same server?

I have a server: serverA.maindomain.com
and another serverB.maindomain.com
The DNS records for maindomain.com are on serverA
so the serverB A record is on serverA which is fine (i am aware it's a risk if serverA goes down).
If I'm setting a sub domain of serverB such as site1.serverB.maindomain.com I have to setup an A record on serverA for the subdomain and I don't want to have to do this every time.
Is there anyway I can setup a wildcard A record for subdomains such as:
*.serverB.maindomain.com

I cannot use DN's so Ive had to use dot in place of periods below)
I have a domain name registered with Netfirms - lets call it mydomain dot com. I didnt want to use their hosting services, just reg'd the DN with them. I host the mydomain dot com website on my home PC. In order to get both mydomain dot com and www dot mydomain dot com to resolve to my Home IP address I had to create an A record for each on the Netfirms Domain manager GUI.
I have since purchased Hosting services from Webhostingpad dot com and now wish to move/point my mydomain dot com and www dot mydomain dot com to my webhostingpad dot com hosted account.
When I spoke with Webhostingpad about pointing mydomain dot com to them they said all I had to do was use their Name Servers on the Netfirms side and I should be set. When I asked 'what about the A records? Do I need to create A records on their side for mydomain dot com and www dot mydomain dot com' they said 'Nope' - once its pointed to their NS I should be all set
My questions are:
- Why did I need to create A records on the Netfirms side to point to my Home IP?
- Will what Webhostingpad is saying work (once I point my DN to their NS, and remove the existing A records on the Netfirms side, I should be good to go)
- Will both mydomain dot com and www dot mydomain dot com resolve properly to my webhostingpad server?
I just want to make sure this works before I do it and potentially down my website.

the difference between following SPF entries?
Quote:
"v=spf1 a mx ~all"
And
Quote:
"v=spf1 +a +mx +all"
I looked at SPF Record Syntax from Openspf.org but wasn't able to understand the actual difference.

I have built a new website (ASP) for a friend. Their current domain "hissite.co.uk" is on another server - they want their email to stay with that hosting company.
I have created their new site on another server using a similar domain name "hissite2.co.uk". The server is a shared hosting account so the IP isn't dedicated.
Question
Making a change to the A Record asks for an IP address but doesn't work when pointing to a shared hosting server which holds lots of domains. I don't want to change the CName or set up a 301 Redirect.
I was told that if I add an alias of the main domain (hissite.co.uk) on the new server the change to the A record on the current server, although the IP address is pointing to a shared hosting server will work.

I have lot of proxies hosted on my dedicated server. Currently i use servage.net nameservers and change the A-Record ip of the domain to the dedicated server ips.My dedicated server provides only very limited DNS services so i cant use them.
Since i have sold all my other sites in servage,i dont want to continue that hosting account. All the domains are registered in Domain.com which do not provide any DNS services.
So is there any free or very cheap place where i can use the nameservers and edit A-record to my dedicated server?it should not have any down time etc and should be reliable. Thats the only requirement i need so i dont want to waste a full hosting account for just that redirecting functionality.

I'm trying to get up an SPF record on my domain because my emails haven't been reching Hotmail users and Hotmail recommended setting an SPF record. I'm just having a slight problem, I've entered everything in to the DNS settings in WHM but when I test them at DNSReport.com, I get the following (I've changed my ip and domain)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPF lookup of sender droid@domain.net from IP 12.34.56.789:</B>
SPF string used: v=spf1amxip4:12.34.56.789mx:domain.net~all.
Processing SPF string: v=spf1amxip4:12.34.56.789mx:domain.net~all.
Error: No space in SPF string. Returning UNKNOWN.
Result: PERMERROR
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see, there are no spaces! I've entered it in to WHM with the spaces intact so am not sure why this is happening.

One of my client has his email, DNS and website hosted at different locations. That is DNS is hosted at one location, email at second and hosting at third.
Now they want to shift hosting providers. I suggested that they simply point the "A" Record to the new IP address.
But their new host says that if we don't use their nameservers, cPanel won't work properly.

i've had the same issue come up a couple of times recently and i'm looking for a bit of advice before i go any further. i'm doing web development on a couple of websites where the companies want to preserve the mail exchange set up with their existing hosts, but wish to move their website to a different hosting platform. i have just set up a VPS which i want to host the websites on, however, i am unsure if i can simply request that the existing providers change the www record to point to my VPS IP address. is this sufficient or do i have to ask the hosts for a nameservers change?

i have just created a dns ZONE for my domain, but i dont know what to use for ftp service.
i looked up in cpanel dns zone records for the domain i created and it looks like this... i am confused what to use CNAME or A record for an FTP entry
ftp 14400 IN A <IP> (for sites on shared IP)
ftp 14400 CNAME domain.com. (for sites with dedicated ip)
what is the difference? what if i change to
ftp 14400 IN CNAME domain.com. (for sites on shared IP)
ftp 14400 A <IP> (for sites with dedicated ip)
Also, how many A records i can place in zone file?

Hello I am totally new to Dedicated hosting
I got my server for $350 as I am going to host some high resource sites
Everything went well. I learned to use SSH plus I have Cpanel/WHM
One thing I am confused about is?
what exactly is this damn thing called "Hostname"? why do we need it and whats its significance?
in WHM I entered my hostname as "web1.mydomain.com" (where mydomain.com is one of my domains that I specially registered and is not being used anywhere else)
now in the A records for mydomain.com, am I supposed to give the IP of the server?
also what about the Nameservers for mydomain.com that I am supposed to enter in my domain admin panel, should I leave them blank?

I have a site that has a members section requiring members to log in with a username/password through .htaccess & .htpasswd file. Just wondering, is there a way I can record their logins and ip addresses using PHP scripts or .htaccess? I just want to keep track of the logins so I can see which login is being abused and keeping track of them.
