How to point Porkbun DNS records to Pressable

Log into your Porkbun account and navigate to the Domain Management page. To the right of your domain, click on the “Details” button.

Click the “edit” link beneath the listed nameservers, and update those to use Pressable’s:

ns1.openhostingservice.com
ns2.openhostingservice.com
ns3.openhostingservice.com
ns4.openhostingservice.com
ns5.openhostingservice.com

Note: that if you already have email hosting for your domain, we recommend getting in touch with us prior to changing the name servers to minimize/prevent any email downtime.

Log into your Porkbun account and navigate to the Domain Management page. To the right of your domain, click on the “Details” button.

Click the “edit” button beneath “DNS Records” to set your custom A records. That will open a popup window:

You will want to create four A records. Two will be blank on the “host” field, and two will have “www” in the host field.

• In the “host” field, leave the entry blank. In the “answer” field, enter one of the provided IPs for your site. For example, 199.16.172.23. Press the “Add” button.
• Create a duplicate record with the second provided IP address.
• Create a third A record, but this time enter “www” into the host field, and one of our IPs in the answer field.
• Create a duplicate record for www with the other IP address.

When you are finished, your records will look similar to the following:

This step will only apply if you added your domain on the Pressable control panel (Step two) a considerable amount of time before pointing the domain via DNS (Step one). If this is the case, you may find that your site doesn’t have an SSL certificate and you will need to re-provision one. You can do that from the Domains tab on your control panel.

Click the Actions button to the right of your domain, then click Retry SSL:

If you already have a valid SSL certificate you may see an error message, but if your site does not yet have a valid certificate this should generate one. You only need to click the icon once, we will include all secondary domains attached to the site in the certificate.

If you are still having trouble with SSL not working as expected please contact our support team for further assistance.
