### Configuring DNS
|
|
|
|
In order for your GNU social node to be accessible with your chosen
|
|
hostname, you can create an `A` or `AAAA` DNS record, with your
|
|
server's fixed IP v4 or v6 respectively in your DNS provider
|
|
(normally, your domain registrar); the `A` record doesn't need to be
|
|
at the root of your domain, meaning it's name can be a subdomain. For
|
|
dynamic IPs, create a `CNAME` record pointing to the hostname you
|
|
created with your chosen Dynamic DNS host. A `CNAME` cannot normally be created
|
|
for a domain root, so you must use a subdomain. Note that some DNS
|
|
providers provide 'CNAME flattening', in which case you can use your
|
|
root domain.
