Thank you, Tony. I have never subscribed to a channel after watching less than the first 5 minutes of the first video. I appreciate that you took the trouble to show two different domain services.
This video has helped me many times in many situations. this info is easy to forget and once you do a new project need a refresher. Spotting this one more time is such a relief...
Clear explanation. I stumbled upon this video because I had google domain forwarded (FROM WEBSITE SECTION) to the ip address so it forwarded fine but then the IP address remained in the browser URL instead of the domain name. I thought it was a nginx issue and I needed to translate the output path, spent like 4 hours playing with nginx config only to realise that I needed to setup a DNS record and not domain forwarding. What a nightmare haha, thanks!
hi there, it was a really good tutorial, I just wanted to note that you don't need to open a private window to avoid cache data, you could just press CTRL + SHIFT + R (or CTRL + f5 as far as I'm aware)
Hi, Tony Teaches Tech, This video is simply superb straight forward. You help me a lot, love you. Keep doing your explanation is simple even though without technical knowledge person can also understand very well.
Hi Tony, thank you for the video! May I ask how did you get the IP address at first? I accidentally deleted the IP address on my domain server page, now I don't know what to put there lol
I've struggled on my own for about two years on and off to get this to work with Google Domains, and never quite got it to work all the way through. using @ to specify root of the domain was the little bit that helped me complete this project, so thank you very much!!!
Perfect thanks, one more question, u added dns record on your Nginx and apache but for internal users i guess you had to add the same record on your DNS Server so that every local machine can communicate throught DNS and not IP right ?
Hi Tony.... If I want the domain name pointing to the synology server... but the synology has a local IP address.... Does the domain name has to point to the local IP address or there are other steps I have to do such as port forwarding etc.
Thank you very much. I followed you advice and I got my domain pointed to the ip address in less than 5 minutes. I tried it with the CNAME and the same ip address is being called "invalid alias data". This is a google workspace domain registered with Squarespace. What should I do?
Thanks for the amazing video, wanted to ask that if i want to link a domain to a specific ip and port number what are the steps for it, would really appreciate your help
What you can do is tell the virtual host what its domain is and which port to listen to. domain1.tld on port 8080 Config would show Server name: domain1.tld Listen 8080 Don’t quote me on that. Check your server config docs
Great Video, please please help to understand the SSL implementation in this scnario. Even in your example it shows that Site is not secure. How to secure the session with SSL
Can you make a video how to update phpmyadmin? I have a WD MycloudEx2 Ultra that has an app for phpmyadmin but it's outdated and there's no instruction how to update. Thanks for this video. It helps.
Plain and simple video. But one question: your sites don't have a secure (https) connection. If an SSL certificate was installed there, would it have to be re-issued after the A record DNS changes, or is what you've shown enough? Thx!
This is helpful. But despite setting up the DNS Zone, the domain is redirecting to ip. What could be the possible reason. I installed wordpress in GCP VM instance
Hi bro, I have a question, how can I change my domain to pioneer from wix to a WordPress new website. The point is that I don't want to wix anymore but I need to my domain go to the new website I built in WordPress, but not sure how change it, really appreciate it if you could help
finally, something I can begin to understand, thanks. When changing host, do I delete the old hosting DNS infos(@, www) or just leave it there? Also, my new hosting wants me to create 4(four) a records.
Hey, this was the best video explanation of this! So simple and so quick. Thank you. Question: my laptop ip address changes. What should I do to keep a steady connection even if it changes?
After doing every step before changing config files on the server it worked fine but after doing it it stopped working. Unsure why as dns checker reports it's all there (doesn't even work in private window)
If i add freenom domain to profreehost then in the cpanel is it to set "A" record dns here ? Then after installing wordpress on cpanel afterthat if i add cloudflare and replace profreehost nameserver in freenom by cloudflare nameserver then doing it to set dns on cloudflare "A" record so how can i findout that what is my ipv4 address to set it on cloudflare ?
Hi. I have a domain name in dreamhost that was pointing to a dreamcompute instance that was deleted, so I created another instance and changed the IP of the DNS A record. But dreamhost is showing this message: All changes that were made to DNS records for this domain will be applied after you change the nameservers. My ns are in other registrar. I dont understand much of nameservers but isn't it that they point to dreamhost nameservers so why should i change them??
Greetings Boss i bought a sharred domain and hosting on namecheap 4days ago but cant find it online and my cpanel on domains tells me the its not redirected so i dint know what to do
Great video, Tony!!! Just curious, any way to point a domain name to a No-Ip service provider, since a web server located behind a router. Possible? Thanks!
I am new to servers and domains, if i am right one domain can open diffent servers right? So i wanted a website, minecraft server, dayz server, and uhm for example rust, aslong it had different ports suggested to it right? Or is this totalt wrong?
Hello great video I need some help with my port forwarding in Ubuntu I have port forwarded to my domain but it does not respond from outside the network.
I am having an issue, I am trying to get my home server to work outside my local network. I have punched a hole in my firewall and I am able to point my domain to my local ip. But I am unable to access it outside my local network.
Hey man, really love your tutorials, i've almost watched them all! Do you think you could make a video on how to host multiple and point multiple domains to the same server please?
Hey, your video help me a lot on understanding how to point my DNS to my domain name. But I don’t have a IPV4 for my website and I do not know how to get one. Can you please help me or guide me to how to obtain a IPV4 for for a website. Thanks
quick question: my hosting provider gave me 2 Nameservers along with the Server IP. I changed the the A records as you said but I keep getting "Error 404 website cannot be found". Do I need to change those 2 Nameservers with my domain provider or should the Nameservers given by the domain provider stay the same?
Interesting stuff. Being the non tech savvy person that I am. I've never used an IP address to point any of my domains to hosting servers. I've always been given a server name to point my domain at.
The @ symbol means the root of the domain, i.e. just the main domain itself rather than some subdomain (so an A record in @ would point example.com to an IP, rather than pointing abc.example.com or blahblah.example.com.) Not all DNS providers use the @ symbol for this in their control panels though - some might just have a field for host name which you leave empty if adding a record for the root of the domain. Most providers will have good instructions for this in their knowledge base/support site, as it’s a very common question.
Thanks!
Sure thing, glad I can help
Thank you, Tony. I have never subscribed to a channel after watching less than the first 5 minutes of the first video. I appreciate that you took the trouble to show two different domain services.
Thank you very much Ahmed
Really enjoy your calm and peaceful explanation of how this works! Easy to understand. Thanks
You're very welcome!
This video has helped me many times in many situations. this info is easy to forget and once you do a new project need a refresher. Spotting this one more time is such a relief...
Love your work! Had to leave a comment after you had the exact solution with no fluff for like the 5th time!
It's like I'm reading your mind :)
Straight forward and make sense - that was excellent! Thanks for taking the time to make the video. Just subscribed.
Thanks Tony. It was no rocket science indeed. Very lively explanation. Appreciate your work !
Thanks Sylvester
You’re awesome man, I did everything wrong and after watching this I redirected my dns the right way and it worked. Thank you 🙏 😂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for the simple explanation- very helpful!
Big help for a 1st time web developer like me, thanks a lot
You're welcome!
Quick Tip:
I realized your TTL (Time To Live) was 1H.
If you changed it to like 1M (1 Minute) the propagation will be a lot faster.
Great Tutorial.
Thanks Adam!

that just refreshes the site
@@Angremaan Yes but it performs the refresh with a corresponding cache clear.
Appreciate your work Tony 😊
Thanks!
Great Video man! Truly appreciate the info!!!
Thanks man, i was so confused initially with A records, this made it
Happy to hear that

Glad it helped
This guy knows what he's talking about.
Hi there, at 5:08 why you have used A record for WWW, ?? why you didn't use CNAME for WWW ?? thnx
That is another option to accomplish the same thing
Perfect thanks, one more question, u added dns record on your Nginx and apache but for internal users i guess you had to add the same record on your DNS Server so that every local machine can communicate throught DNS and not IP right ?

Thanks man 👋
That was a good explanation!
No problem 👍
How can i do
If i want to add another domain in the currently runing website. I just point a second domain to running site. Not to be redirection.
Thank you very much. I followed you advice and I got my domain pointed to the ip address in less than 5 minutes. I tried it with the CNAME and the same ip address is being called "invalid alias data". This is a google workspace domain registered with Squarespace. What should I do?
Thanks for the amazing video, wanted to ask that if i want to link a domain to a specific ip and port number what are the steps for it, would really appreciate your help
can you forward the DNS names with different port numbers to a specific IP & port?
What you can do is tell the virtual host what its domain is and which port to listen to.
domain1.tld on port 8080
Config would show
Server name: domain1.tld
Listen 8080
Don’t quote me on that. Check your server config docs
Thank you, Tony, you are a life saver!
You're very welcome
will that mess with the email address that is my server? I would like to keep the email with Google but point the domain name to another IP.

Lmk if u find out
Hello do you have a video how to configure apache to get that ip address..tnx
Thank you, Tony. Very useful video for me 👏
You're very welcome
Thanks for the video! One quick question: why do you add the www as a type A record and not as a CNAME one?
They accomplish the same thing. I think it's just habit, but no worries if you do CNAME instead

Thanks Doug, happy you learned something!
Hi Tony, What happens to the nameserver section on the domain? Great Channel by the way.
Great tutorial video. Now can you do a additional update video on how to for those of us whos IP address may chance once in a while?
Can you point to a specific port on that ip with an A record?
Please also include the AAA record for the IPv6 adress. This is much better than v4 only
Have videos coming soon on AAAA
@@TonyTeachesTech that's nice to hear :)
My domain registrar doesn't let me use the @ symbol in the dns zones.. cant add the records due to this in the same way..
