Manage Domains

Domain management allows you to add domains to your websites, configure SSL certificates, create subdomains and domain aliases, and set up DKIM for email authentication.

Overview

The domain table shows all your managed domains:

Column	Description

2. Fill out the form:

Field	Required	Description
Domain	Yes	The full domain name (e.g. my-site.com)
Website	Yes	The website to associate the domain with

1. Click Create

DNS Configuration

For your domain to point to the server, you need to set the following DNS records at your domain registrar:

Type	Name	Value
A	@	IP address of your server
A	www	IP address of your server
AAAA	@	IPv6 address (if available)
AAAA	www	IPv6 address (if available)

DNS Propagation

DNS changes can take up to 24 hours to take effect worldwide. However, the transition is usually completed within minutes to a few hours.

SSL Certificates

Let's Encrypt (automatic)

To activate a free SSL certificate via Let's Encrypt:

1. Ensure your domain points to the server via DNS
2. Open the domain details
3. Click Enable SSL
4. The system automatically requests a certificate from Let's Encrypt
5. Automatic renewal is also configured

Prerequisite

The domain must point to the server via DNS for Let's Encrypt to issue the certificate. Check your DNS records if activation fails.

Upload Custom SSL Certificate

If you want to use a custom certificate (e.g. wildcard or EV certificate):

1. Open the domain details
2. Click Install Custom Certificate
3. Paste your certificate (PEM format) and private key
4. Click Install

Disable SSL

1. Open the domain details
2. Click Disable SSL
3. Confirm the deactivation

HTTPS Redirect

After disabling SSL, all HTTPS requests will fail. Ensure no internal links point to https://.

Subdomains

Subdomains allow you to create additional sections under your domain (e.g. blog.my-site.com).

Create Subdomain

1. Navigate to Subdomains
2. Click Create Subdomain
3. Fill out the form:

Field	Required	Description
Subdomain	Yes	Name of the subdomain (e.g. blog)
Domain	Yes	Parent domain (e.g. my-site.com)
Website	Yes	Associated website
Document Root	No	Custom directory for the subdomain

1. Click Create

Delete Subdomain

1. Click the delete icon next to the subdomain
2. Confirm the deletion

Domain Aliases

Domain aliases redirect additional domains to an existing website. All alias domains show the same content as the main domain.

Create Alias

1. Navigate to Domain Aliases
2. Click Create Alias
3. Enter the alias domain name
4. Select the target domain
5. Click Create

Delete Alias

1. Click the delete icon next to the alias
2. Confirm the deletion

---

DKIM (Email Signature)

DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) cryptographically signs outgoing emails and prevents them from being classified as spam.

Generate DKIM Key

1. Open the domain details
2. Click Generate DKIM
3. The system generates a key pair

Set DNS Records

After generation, the panel displays the required DNS TXT records:

Type	Name	Description
TXT	default._domainkey.your-domain.com	DKIM public key

Copy the displayed TXT record and add it at your domain registrar.

Improve Email Deliverability

Together with SPF and DMARC, DKIM significantly improves the deliverability of your emails. Set all three DNS records for optimal results.

Delete Domain

1. Click the delete icon next to the domain
2. Confirm the deletion in the dialog

Impact

Deleting a domain removes the Nginx configuration and SSL certificate. The website files are preserved but will no longer be accessible via this domain.
