DirectAdmin domain configuration

In Landingi, you can publish your landing page to your own subdomain. A free Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate will be automatically added for every correctly installed subdomain.

• Before you start the configuration, add the subdomain in Landingi.
• If this is your first time configuring domains in Landingi, see how to get started with domains.

This guide will show you how to set up a domain managed with DirectAdmin. If you access the DirectAdmin panel via another platform, the overall display/design may vary.

Access the DNS management zone

1. Log in to your DirectAdmin panel.

2. Find your domain on the list and click on it.

3. Navigate to the Account Manager section and go to DNS Management.

Set up the DNS records

Now you need to configure the DNS records – select the type of your subdomain.

I’m setting up a www subdomain

Before you start, read about www subdomain redirection.

1. Add two A records: one for your root domain and one for the www subdomain. If you already have these records, edit their values using the pencil icon (and change the Type if set to CNAME).

2. Copy and paste the values below.

• Enter your domain name and add a dot at the end.

#1 Type A

Name:

yourdomain.com.

Value:

157.53.227.1

#2 Type A

Name:

www

Value:

157.53.227.1

3. Save changes.

I’m setting up a subdomain other than www

1. Add an A record for the subdomain you want to add to Landingi. If you already have this record, edit it using the pencil icon (and change the Type if set to CNAME).

2. Copy and paste the values below.

• Type in your new subdomain name, e.g., portfolio for portfolio.yourdomain.com.

Type A

Name:

subdomain

Value:

 157.53.227.1 

3. Save changes.

Finish the configuration in Landingi

When you’re ready, go back to Landingi and click on Confirm/Finish.

Once you’ve added the subdomain to your account, our system will verify whether the DNS redirections have been done correctly. During this time, an hourglass icon will be visible next to the domain with the information that the domain is being verified. Usually, the domain will be active a few hours after adding it, but the total waiting time depends on the number of domains in our system waiting in the queue to install the certificate. We will email you when the domain is installed correctly.

A green globe icon indicates an active domain. You can assign it to your landing page.

In some cases, you have to wait between 1 and 24 hours for the records to propagate.
