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)

  1. Go to https://www.ionos.com and log in
  2. Domains & SSL (or Domains)
  3. Click rafaelgonzalezalbes.com
  4. 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 → 85.215.32.166 won'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
