How does DNS work at WebOké?

Below is a short explanation of how DNS works at WebOké.

Two nameservers

We use two central nameservers on different networks and in different locations. If one goes down, the other simply keeps running.

• ns1.webawere.nl (185.158.165.26)
• ns2.webawere.nl (95.142.98.222)

Where do you change the DNS?

• Domain in a hosting package: change the records in My WebOké under My Domains, tab DNS, or in DirectAdmin under DNS Management. The server of your package pushes the change to our nameservers within a few minutes.
• Domain without a hosting package: change the records in My WebOké under My Domains, tab DNS.

To find out how, read Managing DNS records in My WebOké.

The default records for a hosting package

Type   Name                         Value
A      @, www, mail, ftp, pop,      the IP address of your package
       smtp and imap
AAAA   @, www, mail and the rest    the IPv6 address of your package
NS     @                            ns1.webawere.nl. and ns2.webawere.nl.
MX     @                            mail.yourdomain.nl. or the server of your package, e.g. linux2023.webawere.nl.
TXT    @                            v=spf1 a mx include:webawere.nl ~all
TXT    _dmarc                       v=DMARC1;p=reject
TXT    x._domainkey                 the DKIM key of your domain

Want to use a new name, such as shop.yourdomain.nl? Then create a subdomain in DirectAdmin or add a record yourself. More details per record can be found in Opening DNS Management and reading the records.

Other nameservers

Want to use other nameservers, for example from Cloudflare? You don't change that in the hosting package, but in My WebOké at the domain. From that moment on, you manage the DNS at that other party and changes made with us no longer have any effect. Read Using your own or external nameservers for your domain.
