DNS

How to setup your domains and DNS to use Sonance services.

Sonance as Tech-contact

You should set the Tech-contact field in your domain registration to domain@sonance.net . You have to go to your domain registrar, and set this up for the Technical Contact (not the other ones) :


Field Entry
First Name Matthias
Last Name Subik
Organisation Sonance
Address 1 Kellermangasse 1-3/25
Address 2 leave blank
City Wien
Province Wien
Postal Code 1070
Country Austria
Phone +43 650 54 65 058
email domain @ sonance . net

Once this is done, Sonance techteam can change the DNS settings. This means you will have less work to do, and we will have more (but we can do it all together, more automatically).

Nameservers

Nameservers should be specified as following: Resource Records written as they would appear $ORIGIN=<customer zone>

NS ns1.sonance.net.
NS ns2.sonance.net.

If ns3.sonance.net is added to the above, that's ok. Due to legacy domain settings ns2 and ns3 are currently identical.

email

MX 10 goten.sonance.net

later we might change this recommendation to a generic hostname, but for now it is goten.

web

. A (webserver IP).

. (dot) can't be a CNAME, since . has other RR types as
well.

www A (webserver IP)

could be a CNAME to point to something like
wwwhandlingvirtualmachine.sonance.net.
