Connect Your Domain to AurexHost (Nameservers or DNS Records)
This guide shows two ways to point your domain to AurexHost: Option A (change nameservers) or Option B (keep current DNS and add A/AAAA/MX/CNAME/TXT records). Choose whichever fits your setup.
Quick Navigation
Option A — Change Nameservers (Recommended)
Best for 99% of users. Your DNS will be managed automatically by AurexHost/cPanel.
Steps
- Log in at your domain registrar.
- Locate the Nameservers settings.
- Set them to the values in your Welcome Email (example):
ns1.your-host.tld
ns2.your-host.tld - Save changes.
- Wait for propagation (15m to 4h).
What happens next?
- Your domain will load from AurexHost.
- AutoSSL will issue automatically.
- You manage DNS in cPanel Zone Editor.
Option B — Keep Current DNS & Point Records
Use this if you prefer to keep DNS at Cloudflare or your registrar.
Minimum Web Records
| Type | Name | Value | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | @ | YOUR_SERVER_IP | 300 |
| A | www | YOUR_SERVER_IP | 300 |
| AAAA | @ / www | YOUR_SERVER_IPV6 | 300 |
Email Records (if email on AurexHost)
| Type | Name | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| MX | @ | mail.domain.tld | Priority 10 |
| A | YOUR_SERVER_IP | IMAP/SMTP | |
| TXT | @ | v=spf1 a mx ip4:YOUR_SERVER_IP ~all | SPF |
SSL & Propagation Tips
- AutoSSL issues within 5–30 minutes.
- Propagation varies by ISP/TTL.
- If using Cloudflare proxy, use SSL mode “Full”.
Troubleshooting
- Website not loading? Check your A/AAAA or nameservers.
- SSL pending? Ensure the domain resolves to AurexHost.
- Email issues? Verify MX/SPF/DKIM/DMARC.
