Instructions needed for Registrar Freenom #72

Open toaster42 opened 4 years ago

toaster42 commented 4 years ago

I am managing a domain through Freenom, the registrar for .cf, .ga, .tk, and .ml.

They do not allow wildcard CNAME entries, so I was only able to add the CNAME entry for www as well as the A record.

The instructions are to log in and go to client area -> Services -> My Domains -> [Manage Domain for the domain you are going to use with surge] -> Manage Freenom DNS -> And then: Add a Blank A record which points at 45.55.110.124, and individual CNAME records for any subdomains you would like, pointed at na-west1.surge.sh.

Note that '@' and '*' are not acceptable CNAME record names on Freenom.

P.S. Thank you all for such an incredible service!
