5min

Introduction

For KVM VPS users who wish to enhance their online presence with a unique domain name, this guide walks you through the process of domain registration and linking it to your VPS.

Step 1: Domain Registration

Choosing a Domain Registrar: You can purchase a domain from any domain registrar. Some popular options include:

  • GoDaddy
  • Namecheap
  • Google Domains

Procedure:

  1. Visit the website of the chosen registrar.
  2. Use the search function to choose your domain (e.g., "myawesomeproject.com").
  3. Complete the purchase, ensuring that DNS hosting is included.

Step 2: Assigning the Domain to Your VPS IP Address

Locating Your VPS IP Address: Your VPS IP address is provided by EDIS Global upon the activation of your KVM VPS plan. You also find it in the VPS panel.

Configuring DNS Records:

  1. Access your domain registrar's control panel and navigate to the DNS settings.
  2. Create a new "A" record:
    • Set the "Host" to "@" to denote your domain.
    • Input your VPS IP address in the provided field.
  3. Save your new DNS configuration.

DNS Propagation Time: The changes may take anywhere from a few minutes up to 48 hours to fully propagate.

Additional Information

  • DNS Propagation: If your website does not become accessible immediately, please allow the necessary time for DNS propagation.
  • Support: Should you require assistance with finding your VPS IP address or have any concerns, please contact EDIS Global Support.
