Configuring DNS for domain and SSL certificate

Posted on April 17, 2016

So I have two servers, one for private cloud and private VPN. My domain lewisbarham.com is registered with TSOHOST and DNS managed with Cloudflare - which gives me free SSL certificate and CDN support.

How can I configure the subdomains cloud.lewisbarham.com and vpn.lewisbarham.com with the servers, whilst maintaining the existing Cloudflare DNS management?

Which records do I have to create on Cloudflare to redirect and point the subdomains to the servers?

Hey there,

You can point A records within your CloudFlare DNS zone to the IP address of your servers. The name field would be “cloud” or “vpn” and the IP address would be the IP of the server you want to direct traffic to.

Happy coding,
