STEP - II : Configuring DNS ZONES in RAPID ACCESS CLOUD.

Creating DNS Zone:

  2. Select DNS Zones and click on create zone (fig-6)

  3. Before you start you require your registered domain name example: yourdomain.com.

  4. Fill all information in DNS zones window

  5. Click submit

  6. You will see newly created DNS zone entry on dashboard.



You can also use below command to create a  DNS Zone:

openstack zone create yourdomain.com. --email  youremail@mail.com openstack zone list


Creating a recordset A and AAA recordset:

  1. On DNS zone page click create recordset.

  2. Select the record type to A.

  4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 to create AAA recordset.


You can also use below command to create a recordset:

openstack recordset create --records "IPv4 or IPv6 address" --type AAAA --description "IPv6 AAAA Record" yourdomain.com. test




NOTE: Once the Recordsets are created please make a note of IPv4 floating address, IPv6 address of your instance and Name servers (ns-yyc.cloud.cybera.ca., ns-yeg.cloud.cybera.ca.)

STEP - III : Change Namecheap Nameservers and point to Cybera.

  1. First, log in to your Namecheap account dashboard.

       2. Next to the domain you want to point to RAC, click on “Manage.”


Namecheap manage domain

     3. By default, the nameservers on your domain will be set to Namecheap’s BasicDNS which you will need to change. Under the “Domain” tab select

          “Custom DNS” from the dropdown in the nameservers section. If you already had custom nameservers from a previous WordPress host, simply skip to

            the next step to update them.

     4. You then need to input the nameservers that we provided you.

           Cybera uses below name server records

           Name Server 1: ns-yyc.cloud.cybera.ca

           Name Server 2: ns-yeg.cloud.cybera.ca

Take above nameservers and input them into the Custom DNS section in Namecheap for your domain. And click the green check mark when finished.

It may take a few minutes for the nameservers to propagate everywhere. You can use a free tool like What’s My DNS to check if your nameservers are pointing correctly.
