Connecting websites to the infrastructure

Our infrastructure for the ŠKODA EP is behind a domain name ys-skoda.cz

Any website that is ran from our infrastructure needs to have its DNS records setup correctly in order for the public to view it.

Basic DNS setup

Example domain name: welovecycling.xy

There are 3 steps that need to be done:

  1. Set a DNS record of type CNAME for www.welovecycling.xy
  2. Set a DNS record of type A (eventually AAAA for ipv6) for welovecycling.xy (no WWW) which leads to your servers
    • A/AAAA record is an address of your server, i.e. 193.108.108.32
    • Result: When user visits welovecycling.xy (without WWW) he is redirected to a server which you control (ŠKODA)
  3. Configure your server to redirect welovecycling.xy to www.welovecycling.xy
    • Result: When the user is redirected to your server, the server should send them to www.welovecycling.xy, which is silently redirected to ys-skoda.cz in step 1)
