![Common DNS Configurations](common-dns-configurations-title-graphic.jpg "Common DNS Configurations")
20+
21+
## Set Up a Domain
22+
23+
The most common DNS configuration is a single domain name on a single Linode. For this, you'll need to add *SOA* and *NS records* for all of your name servers, and *A/AAAA* records for your domain names. Use the screenshot below as a guide.
24+
25+
[![The SOA record is set to "ns1.linode.com". The NS records are set to "ns1.linode.com" through "ns5.linode.com", inclusive. The MX record is set to "mail.example.org". There are A records for [blank], which is the primary domain, and the "mail" and "www" subdomains. They are all set to the same IP.](1121-dns9.png)](1121-dns9.png)
26+
27+
{{< note >}}
28+
The DNS Manager can automatically add all of these records when you create a domain zone. For instructions, see [Adding Domain Zones](/docs/networking/dns/dns-manager#add-a-domain-zone) in the [DNS Manager](/docs/networking/dns/dns-manager) guide.
29+
{{< /note >}}
30+
31+
## Configure Subdomains
32+
33+
To configure a subdomain, such as `staging.example.org`, create an A record with the subdomain's hostname. Point the record at the IP address of the server you want to host the subdomain:
34+
35+
[![Create a new A record, following the instructions in the "Adding" section. Add the subdomain text to the "Hostname" field. For example, you could type "staging" - NOT "staging.example.org".](1125-dns13.png)](1125-dns13.png)
36+
37+
## Host Multiple Domains on a Single Server
38+
39+
To host multiple domain names on a single server, create a separate domain zone for each domain name as shown below. When creating the new domain zones, we recommend that you allow the DNS Manager to automatically [insert basic records](/docs/networking/dns/dns-manager#add-a-domain-zone). At a minimum, you'll need an A record for each domain name pointing to the server's IP address.
40+
41+
[![This page shows the DNS Manager tab with three different domain zones listed.](1126-dns15.png)](1126-dns15.png)
42+
43+
## Use One Domain on Multiple Servers
44+
45+
If you have more than one server, but only one domain name, you can point A records with server-specific hostnames to all servers that need domain names. One machine will be the "front end" for the domain, by virtue of the first-level domain's A record pointing to it, but the domain can serve as a proxy for services provided by other machines if needed. For example, if you wanted to create a development environment on another server, you could create an A record for `staging.example.org` and point it at another Linode's IP address.
46+
47+
## Route Email to Third-Party Mail Services
48+
49+
To route email to a third-party email service, create MX records that associate your mail server (for example, `mail.example.org`) with a *hostname* provided by the third-party service. For instructions, see the website of your third-party email service.
50+
51+
## Use Wildcard DNS Records
52+
53+
A *wildcard* DNS record matches requests for non-existent domain names. For example, if you create an A record for `*.example.org`, and a user visits `nonexistantname.example.org`, that user will be redirected to `example.org`. An example wildcard DNS record is shown below.
54+
55+
[![Create a new A record, following the instructions in the "Adding" section. Add a single asterisk (\*) in the "Hostname" field. Set your IP address in the "IP Address" field. Then click the "Save Changes" button.](1127-dns16.png)](1127-dns16.png)
