Step 4: Global DNS Settings In Control Panel

The Global DNS Settings page allows you to create DNS zone file configurations that will be applied to all domains set up under your reseller account. For instance, you could create a “cp” record that could point to Helm itself, this way your users could use http://cp.domain.com to access Helm. (DO NOT SET THIS UP WITHOUT DISCUSSING IT WITH 1PLANHOST FIRST)

From the Account Settings page click on “Global DNS Settings” then click on the “Add New” button. Leave the record type as “A (Host Record)”. In the record name, enter “cp”. In the record data field, enter the IP address of your Helm control panel. If you do not know the IP address of your control panel, ask your hosting provider for this information. For our example, let’s assume the IP address of the control panel is 192.168.1.100. You would therefore enter “192.168.1.100” in the record data field. Clicking the “Save” button will take you back to the main Global DNS Settings page.

Tip – Be sure the information you enter at this screen is accurate. Inputting incorrect information could cause major issues in the future. If you are not sure what IP addresses to use – ask your host!
