Custom domains/server IPs

exaroton servers come by default with an exaroton.me server address, like example.exaroton.me. However, we also provide you with the option to link your own domain, like example.com. In this article, we will show you how to easily connect your own domain.

Please note:

All the steps in this article assume that you already have your own domain. Please note that exaroton does not sell or provide domains. If you want one, please purchase it from a domain provider.

Setting up a subdomain of your domain

To connect a subdomain of your domain to your server, create two NS records, one for each of the exaroton nameservers, in the DNS settings of your domain. Set the 'Name' field to your desired subdomain in both of them.

The result should look something like this:

Setting up your main domain

It is also possible to connect your main domain to your server; this will, however, prevent you from creating any additional DNS records or subdomains for it.
To do so, you have to change the nameserver settings on the website of your registrar (the website you bought/registered your domain on) to point your domain to the exaroton nameservers.

Connecting your domain to your server

After setting up your domain/subdomain correctly, you can then add it to the domain list of your exaroton server (https://exaroton.com/domains/). DNS and nameserver changes can take up to 24h to take effect, so this step might not be possible immediately after changing your domain settings.
