Update your DNS records to connect your domain to the CDN service

Xneelo has transitioned from using Fastly-provided Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates to our own Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates. This change means that the DNS settings of your CDN service will need to be updated.

If you have activated CDN and your domain’s Name Servers are not managed by xneelo, you will need to manually update your DNS records to point to the CDN service.

Note: Replace yourdomainname.co.za with your domain name

Use the details below to change your domain’s DNS settings:


  • Add your DNS records

    If you have not yet pointed your DNS records to connect your domain to the CDN service, use these details. The DNS update will take place via your domain’s DNS host.
    Step 1:

    Add:

_acme-challenge       IN       CNAME       yourdomainname.co.za.xneelotls.co.za.
    Note: Wait 24 hours before actioning Step 2. This is to ensure the generation of the new SSL certificate, thereby avoiding any downtime.
    Step 2:

    Add:

@     IN     A       151.101.2.50
@     IN     A       151.101.194.50
@     IN     A       151.101.130.50
@     IN     A       151.101.66.50

www      IN      CNAME      xneelo.map.fastly.net.





  • Update your DNS records

    If you previously updated your domain’s DNS records, please change your settings to the following via your DNS host.
    Step 1:

    Change:

_acme-challenge       IN     CNAME     wlj1lvbzmzsm8k9603.fastly-validations.com.

to

_acme-challenge       IN     CNAME     yourdomainname.co.za.xneelotls.co.za.

    Delete:

_acme-challenge.www   IN     CNAME     vth21jv1xiinm6j09q.fastly-validations.com.
    Note: Wait 24 hours before actioning Step 2. This is to ensure the generation of the new SSL certificate, thereby avoiding any downtime.
    Step 2:

    Change:

@     IN     A       151.101.2.132

to

@     IN     A       151.101.2.50

    Change:

www    IN      CNAME     j.sni.global.fastly.net.

to

www    IN      CNAME     xneelo.map.fastly.net.

    Add:

@     IN     A       151.101.194.50
@     IN     A       151.101.130.50
@     IN     A       151.101.66.50
    Note: The additional IP addresses provide redundancy in the case of an issue with an IP/server.



Assist Note

Your DNS provider may not support the use of the @ symbol and might instead require you to include your complete domain name.

Assist Tip

Your domain will not experience downtime if your DNS records are updated correctly.
