Introduction

Properly configuring the DNS for your landing page is an essential step to ensure visitors can access your site without issues. When you use services like SprintHub to host your landing page, it is common to need to configure a CNAME record. In this article, we will guide you step by step on how to configure your landing page DNS by pointing the CNAME to SprintHub.

Step by Step

Access Your DNS Provider's Control Panel

Home Screen

Click on your product/landing page to access the configuration panel

Click on your product

In the control panel, scroll down to the part for your site "Site exemplo.com.br" and click on manage DNS.

Now let's go to the part where we point your DNS to SprintHub. As soon as you access the DNS manager screen, the option to insert a DNS already appears.

Fill in the Required Fields

• Subdomain name: Enter the subdomain you want to point to SprintHub. For example, if you want "landingpage.yourdomain.com" to point to SprintHub, enter "landingpage".

• Value/Destination: Enter the CNAME value provided by SprintHub. This will be a domain provided by SprintHub, such as "sh.sprinthub.site".

Practical Example

Let's suppose your domain is "meusite.com" and you want "landingpage.meusite.com" to point to "cname.sprinthub.com". Here is an example of how the fields should be filled out:

• First name: landingpage

• Type: CNAME

• Value/Destination: sh.sprinthub.site

Checking the settings

After configuring the CNAME record, it is important to check whether everything is working correctly. You can use online tools like "DNS Checker" to verify CNAME propagation. Just enter the subdomain (for example, "landingpage.meusite.com") and check if it is pointing correctly to the destination "sh.sprinthub.site".

It is also necessary to point for AWS validation.

• Instructions:

  1. Access your domain's DNS records.

  2. Add a new record in the DNS settings selecting CNAME as the record type.

  3. Go back to the first window, copy the content of the "Record / Host" field.

  4. Paste the copied content into the "Record or Host" field of your DNS records.

  5. Return to the first window and copy the content of the "Destination / Target" field.

  6. Paste the copied content into the "Destination or Target" field of your DNS records.

• Verification CNAME record:

  • Record Type: CNAME

  • Record Name "Record / Host": A generated value appears (a unique alphanumeric code).

  • Value "Destination / Target": A specific generated value (also an alphanumeric code), pointing to an AWS domain for validation.

These instructions are to ensure the custom domain is validated correctly when configuring the CNAME record in the DNS server.

Conclusion

Configuring the DNS for your landing page by pointing the CNAME to SprintHub is a relatively simple process, but it requires attention to detail to ensure everything works correctly. By following the steps above, you can ensure your subdomain will be pointing correctly to SprintHub, allowing your landing page to be accessible to all visitors.
