DNS

You get your own IP (which is in your welcome email), and you can do pretty much whatever you like with it.

Gypsy Hosting doesn't host DNS, but I can highly recommend EveryDNS -- it's free, stable, and has been around forever. Since DNS setup can be tricky, here's how you should set things up:

  • Any web domain names you want to use should have an A record pointing to your IP address.
  • Any domain you want to use as an email domain should be given an MX record that points to mail.gypsyhosting.com.
  • Any domains you want to use as media servers should be given a CNAME record pointing to media.gypsyhosting.com.
