I want my CNAME to be forums and my site IP is 162.243.12.227. How would I do this? Is there a special domain I need to point to? Because pointing to the IP isn’t working for me. [image]

You have server.example.com with ip 162.243.12.227. You want it to host your forum on that server so now your CNAME will be: forum.example.com CNAME server.example.com. I.e. you say point forum to server. Server points to the IP.

[image] I did this a few minutes ago. Still not working. :frowning:

So I make an A record with the IP? EDIT: This is correct. Solved. :slight_smile:

You could mark solution in this thread if you wanted to?

Done, sorry. Didn’t know that was a thing ahaha

I guess dns setup is off topic on this forum.

But the server ip should not be on the cname section. But somewhere else on your panel?
