What entry for a subdomain ?
What entry for a subdomain ?
Hello,
I had create a domain with web and dns, sure. I have create a subdomain with web and dns too. So in dns of the domain, I should add an entry that redirect to the folder. What is the best, or good practice : add a A entry with a IP, or a CNAME and domain.com. ?
I ask this basic question because I have problem with Let's encrypt for subdomain.
Thx.

Re: What entry for a subdomain ?
You can add in what you whant ins DNS subdomain or DNS domain
Just A record for www or cname record, with no diference in result

Re: What entry for a subdomain ?
I would always use A records so that there's no extra lookup.
For example with CNAME:
Browser looksup sub.domain.com = CNAME to www.domain.com
Browser looks up www.domain.com = A record to IP Address
For example with A record:
Browser looksup sub.domain.com = A record to IP Address
For example with CNAME:
Browser looksup sub.domain.com = CNAME to www.domain.com
Browser looks up www.domain.com = A record to IP Address
For example with A record:
Browser looksup sub.domain.com = A record to IP Address
Re: What entry for a subdomain ?
So in DNS for the domain.com I add this line :
cloud A 194.251.210.003 (for example)
And in DNS for cloud.domain.com
@ A 194.251.210.003
?
cloud A 194.251.210.003 (for example)
And in DNS for cloud.domain.com
@ A 194.251.210.003
?

=
domain.com = 194.251.210.003
cloud.domain.com = 194.251.210.003
