How to manage SubDomain in VestaCP Panel while using external name server?

[tinkyawoo]

Hi.

I want to allow my users to create their own subdomain in VestaCP Control panel and I dont want to use my own DNS server but using external DNS server such as cloudflare or Digital Ocean. Is it possible to allow my users to manage their own subdomain in VestaCP?

Make A record for your subdomain on external name server
or use wildcard and you don't need make A record every time, when you add subdomain.

Thanks. That work well without managing DNS on VestaCP.

One problem though, that is if I use wild cast, if the subdomain web is not created on VestaCP, it would always falls to one particular website on my host. How can I create a default dedicated website to fall on if people browse non existing subdomain?

Yep, if you use external dns, you should change records there ;-)

thanks for your pointer, that block accessing my raw IP and that's good.
But, as I have created A record for * to bypass creating every DNS for every single new subdomains, if I access non existing subdomain on my host, it still falls to that particular website that I created first on that host.

How should I configure to fall on a particular website I created as a lending page?

I had the same problem and solved it by changing the first ligne in /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf from
listen 80;
to
listen IP:80;

Hopefully I have only one IP on the server and the tip is not surprising after all

Hope it help ;)

How do you set non existing subdomain to fall on a particular website you hosted?
