Hi, I’ve installed Ubuntu in my droplet and wanted to try Zpanel as my control panel. It was installed perfectly in my 256k memory droplet. Now I’m confused where should I set my DNS entries for primary + additional domains? When I add a domain in Zpanel, it’s added without any issues. It created all the public_html folder, apache virtual host entries and everything was perfect. But my DNS are not yet resolved.
In my Domain control panel with Godaddy I’ve already added the relevant DNS entries for the domains. Now where to setup the DNS? (A, Cname, MX, NS entries) in my Zpanel or in the droplet DNS settings or in both places? Can somebody guide me in this? Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi smriyaz, <br> <br>I also have the same problem. <br> <br>Managed to solve? <br> <br>Share us. <br> <br>A big hug.
@edsonrodsilva: Could you describe your problem a bit more? Where are you configuring your DNS, on DigitalOcean or with your domain registrar? What DNS records have you set up? I’d suggest setting up a wildcard CNAME like so: <br> <br>CNAME – * – @
It would depend on which nameservers your domains are pointed to. <br> <br>If you pointed your domains to GoDaddy’s nameservers and setup DNS in their control panel to point to the IP of your virtual server it should work. <br> <br>Likewise if you added those domains to our DNS management inside of our control panel, pointed them at the IP of the virtual server, and updated your domains nameservers to point to: <br>ns1.digitalocean.com <br>ns2.digitalocean.com <br>ns3.digitalocean.com <br>It will also work. <br> <br>Lastly it’s very likely that Zpanel has its own DNS management inside of that and if you used it you would point the domains there at your virtual server’s IP address and you would also need to register one of your domains as a nameserver with the registrar where you registered your domains so that DNS queries would be pointed at your newly registered nameserver.
