What is Glue Records and what is it used for?
A Glue Records is a DNS record that allows you to add an IP address to a subdomain so that you can use it as a DNS server name.
A Glue Records is used when you want to use your cloud server as a DNS server. Therefore, this type of DNS A record ensures the correct resolution of the DNS server's IP address.
For example, if you want to use your service provider's name servers, you must create two subdomains that perform this function:
ns1.mydomain.com
ns2.mydomain.com
In addition, the connection records that are created require DNS, that is, the Domain Name System, to know where the name servers of your domain name point to.
Otherwise, whenever someone tries to access mydomain.com, the DNS will not know where to look for the IP address because the main domain must be available first to access the subdomain. Without a fixed record, the resolution of the IP address becomes an infinite loop.
How to create Glue Records?
Next, we will provide you with the instructions to follow so that you can easily create Glue Records.
Access the Client Area in Sered
First, you must log in to the Sered client area with your email address and your password, the same login details you used to register on our website before.
Go to the "Domains" section
Afterwards, you should go to the left side menu and click on "SERVICES" to access the "DOMAINS" section.
Access the Domain Manager
Once there, you will see all the domains you have registered in Sered.net, and therefore search for the domain for which you want to create Glue Records, and click on the "gear" icon, in "MANAGE DOMAINS".
Look for the Glue Records option
Then, click on the "MORE" tab, and a menu with several options will be displayed, one of them is "GLUE RECORDS", where you have to click.
Create the Glue Records
Finally, a window will open where you can start creating the Glue Records.
From there, you will find the following three options:
Register a NameServer name.
Modify NameServer IP.
Delete a NameServer.
Simply add the domain name where you want to make the registration.
For example: dns1.mydomain.com. And that's it!
Then, it is very important that you create the A record in the DNS server or from your client area for everything to work correctly.
If you find this configuration process complicated, you can contact our technical team through a ticket from the Client Area for more personalized assistance.
