You need A-records to link your domain name to web hosting or Sitebuilder.
Web hosting
To link your domain name to Combell web hosting, set an A record with the IP address of your package .
Follow these steps to find the IP address in the control panel
- Go to “My Products”> “Web hosting”> Click on the “Manage hosting” button to the right of your domain name.
- The IP address is in the center of the screen in the hosting overview.
Copy this ip address and enter it as an A-record for your domain name with and without the www before it!
Is Varnish active on your web hosting? Then you use the Varnish IP address. This is in the same overview.
SiteBuilder
To link your domain name to a Sitebuilder package, set two A records + a CNAME.
A-record Hostname: your domain without www ex. ninefortwo.com IP address: 100.24.208.97 TTL: 3600 A-record Hostname: your domain without www ex. ninefortwo.com IP address: 35.172.94.1 TTL: 3600 CNAME Record / Host: your domain with www ex. www.ninefortwo.com Destination: sitebuilder.multiscreensite.com TTL: 3600
CNAME records allow your e-mail program to automatically configure your Basic or Exchange mailboxes.
Basic mailboxes
CNAME Record / Host: autodiscover. + your domain ex. autodiscover.ninefortwo.com Destination: autodiscover.mailprotect.be TTL: 3600 CNAME Record / Host: autoconfig. + your domain ex. autoconfig.ninefortwo.com Destination: autoconfig.mailprotect.be TTL: 3600
Exchange mailboxes
CNAME Record / Host: autodiscover. + your domain ex. autodiscover.ninefortwo.com Destination: autodiscoverredirect.powermail.be TTL: 3600
Sitebuilder
CNAME Record / Host: your domain with www bv. www.ninefortwo.com Bestemming: sitebuilder.multiscreensite.com TTL: 3600
The standard MX records for Combell are:
MX record Record / Host: your domain without www ex. ninefortwo.com Destination: mx.mailprotect.be Priority: 10 MX record Record / Host: your domain without www ex. ninefortwo.com Destination: mx.backup.mailprotect.be Priority: 50
Use these SRV records to fully configure your Basic Mailbox in Outlook or Thunderbird.
SRV record Record / Host: _autodiscover._tcp.yourdomain.com TTL: 3600 Priority: 1 Weight: 1 Port: 443 Destination: autodiscover-s.mailprotect.be (note: autodiscover-s) SRV record Record / Host: _pop3s._tcp.yourdomain.com TTL: 3600 Priority: 10 Weight: 1 Port: 995 Destination: pop.mailprotect.be SRV record Record / Host: _imaps._tcp.yourdomain.com TTL: 3600 Priority: 1 Weight: 1 Port: 993 Destination: imap.mailprotect.be SRV record Record / Host: _submission._tcp.yourdomain.com TTL: 3600 Priority: 1 Weight: 1 Port: 587 Destination: smtp-auth.mailprotect.be
Tips for entering the SRV records correctly:
- The first part of the record (“_autodiscover”, “_pop3s”, …) is the service
- The second part of the record (“_tcp”) is the protocol
- The small numbers (“10”, “1”) are always the priority and the weight respectively
- The larger numbers (“443”, “995”, “993”, “587”) are the gate
- The domain name after the port (“autodiscover-s.mailprotect.be”, …) is the destination
- The TTL is unimportant and may be set to 3600.
After you have configured the SRV records, the list should look something like this:
