IONOS DNS setup — rafaelgonzalezalbes.com¶
Yes — you must do this in the IONOS website. There is no folder mapping.
VPS IP to use everywhere:
85.215.32.166
Step-by-step in IONOS (website)¶
- Go to https://www.ionos.com and log in
- Domains & SSL (or Domains)
- Click rafaelgonzalezalbes.com
- Click DNS (or gear icon → DNS)
You should see a table of DNS records.
Important: fix the catch-all record¶
IONOS often has a wildcard record like this:
| Type | Host | Points to |
|---|---|---|
| A | * |
217.160.0.155 |
That sends all subdomains (git, ci, pm) to IONOS parking — this is why it did not work.
Either delete the * A record, or change it — but you still need the records below.
Add or edit these records¶
Click Add record (or edit if they already exist):
| Type | Host name | Value / Points to |
|---|---|---|
| A | git |
85.215.32.166 |
| A | ci |
85.215.32.166 |
| A | pm |
85.215.32.166 |
| A | status |
85.215.32.166 |
| A | bridge |
85.215.32.166 |
| A | mcp |
85.215.32.166 |
| A | docs |
85.215.32.166 |
Host name = only git, not git.rafaelgonzalezalbes.com
Type = A, not CNAME, not "Domain redirect"
Click Save.
Do NOT use these (wrong place)¶
| Wrong | Why |
|---|---|
| Domain forwarding / redirect | Not DNS — won't work for subdomains |
| Web hosting subdomain folder | That's for files, not your VPS |
Change www |
Your other site uses it — leave it |
Optional: IPv6 (AAAA)¶
If you see AAAA records for git, ci, pm, or * pointing to IONOS IPv6:
- Delete them, or
- Add AAAA →
85.215.32.166won't work (IPv6 needs different address)
Safest: delete AAAA for git, ci, pm if they point to IONOS.
Test after saving (wait 15–60 min)¶
PowerShell:
nslookup git.rafaelgonzalezalbes.com 8.8.8.8
nslookup docs.rafaelgonzalezalbes.com 8.8.8.8
Each must show: 85.215.32.166
