Tony, attempting to add a subdomain to my existing Google hosted custom domain. I use the A method as described in the vid. I can then enter the subdomain in a browser and it takes me to a warning that it is not safe, go to advanced and it takes me to my NAS. I am attempting to have this subdomain take me to my self hosted Bitwarden (Vaultwarden) via reverse domain set up on my Synology NAS. When I attempt to get a certificate from Let’s Encrypt, I receive an error message “ Invalid domain. Please make sure this domain can be resolved into a public IP address”. What am I doing wrong? U
I am just trying to add a WWW subdomain, but you talk about having an IP. When I buy a new domain through Google, there is no IP address listed as in your first example How do I navigate that? Thanks, @tony.
Does Google Domains allow email forwarding to a subdomain? I’ve created a subdomain, but I don’t see the subdomain as an option under email forwarding.
Hey man, so if I am using A record to make a subdomain, based on your example in this video... You did "hello." if i wasnted it to come up as www. also i would need to add an additional A record for the "www.hello." ? I was going to add via synthetic records... do you not reccomend this, thats what i saw in another video so i wanted to ask that too. thanks.
Thanks a lot I was able to add my subdomain, but when I go to the custom resource records list there's no "www" and when I try to add it I get a name conflict message error saying it already exists. I purchased my domain through google domains. Is there a way to fix that?
The IP address is the IP address of the server that your website is hosted on. If you don't know it, a quick way to find it is to ping it. - On Windows, open up Command Prompt and type in ping example.xom - On Mac, open up Terminal and type in ping example.com (of course, replace example.com with your actual domain name)
I don't know any of this tech stuff...My current www is set to CNAME. Should I also set my subdomain to CNAME? Or A like you do in this video? Will it make a difference if the www is different than the second subdomain? Thank you!
I recently discerned that it is good idea to set different email services like newsletter, marketing, transactional to different subdomains than the parent domain of a website as it affects the reputation of the domain if something goes bad. Can you do a detailed video about this?
The IP address is the IP address of the server that your website is on. This information should be made available to you in your hosting dashboard (i.e. wherever your hosting your website).
Also, if you have a video playlist on youtube linking all the videos you did on Google Domains please share, it will be great. Thank you for the videos.
Hey Tony. What are your thoughts about using AAAA records and entering IPv6 values instead of A record and IP address? Is there any difference in performance? Thanks!
"How do we add a subdomain?" is answered between 1:50 and 2:25 for anyone here to create a subdomain in google domains without a seminar on the entire control panel. As Tony puts it, "it's a simple as filling out two boxes here," yet this video is 4 and a half minutes long.
