To activate the SmartProxy service, all you need to do is point your custom domains to Bablic servers.
If you are using sub-domains (for example: fr.example.com, es.example.com), you should use CNAME record. If you have purchased other domains you want to use in your translated website (for example: example.fr, example.es), you should use A record to point to Bablic.
CNAME Settings
CNAME record is an alias you give to a sub-domain to point to a different domain. We want to point your language sub-domains to seo.bablic.com. The interface for adding a CNAME record is different for each DNS host.
Generally, these are the steps:
- Sign in to your domain's account at your domain host.
- Locate the page for updating your domain's DNS records.The page might be called something like DNS Management, DNS Zone File, Name Server Management, or Advanced Settings.
- Locate the CNAME records for your domain. You may already have one or more records resembling:
- Add a CNAME record for each language with seo.bablic.com as the value/destination. Or modify an existing CNAME record if the one you want to change is already there.
- Make sure not to modify your original sub-domain.
- Save your changes and wait until they take effect.
A-record Settings
A record is an association of a domain to an IP address. We want to associate your custom domains to Bablic server address - 35.185.7.72
The interface for adding/modifying an A record is different for each DNS host.
Generally, these are the steps (each custom domain must be configured separately):
- Sign in to your domain's account at your domain host
- Locate the page for updating your domain's DNS records.The page might be called something like DNS Management, DNS Zone, Name Server Management, or Advanced Settings.
- Locate the A records for your domain. You probably already have one or more records resembling:
- Modify your A record so they have the this ip address 35.185.7.72
If necessary, create new A records to include a record for each IP address listed on this page - Save your changes and wait until they take effect.
Once you have finished the DNS settings, you can click "Verify" in the SEO Configuration Wizard and complete the integration.
