How to set up DNS record

To set up a DNS record for websitename.in, you’ll need access to the DNS management console of the domain registrar or hosting provider that controls sarojuniversity.edu.in. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you configure it:

🛠️ Steps to Set Up a DNS Record for websitename.in

  1. Log in to Your DNS Hosting Provider This could be GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, or your university’s internal DNS system.

  2. Navigate to DNS Management Look for a section called: “DNS Settings” “Zone Editor” “Manage DNS” “Domain Manager”

  3. Add a New Record Choose the type of DNS record you need. Common types include:
    Record: Type Purpose
    A Record: Points websitename.in to an IPv4 address
    CNAME: Aliases websitename.in to another domain
    MX: Routes email for the subdomain
    TXT: Used for verification or SPF/DKIM settings

  4. Configure the Record
    For an A record:
    Host/Name: Websitename(siu)
    Type: A - Value/Points to: 123.456.78.90 (replace with your actual server IP)
    TTL: 3600 (or leave default)
    For a CNAME:
    Host/Name: siu
    Type: CNAME
    Value/Points to: yourapp.hostingprovider.com

  5. Save and Propagate Click “Save” or “Add Record.” DNS changes may take up to 48 hours to propagate globally. **Verify the Setup **Use tools like: DNSChecker.org
