This article explains how to use a custom domain acquired from Onamae.com and configure the A/MX/TXT records of Sakura Rental Server in its DNS settings while continuing to use Onamae.com’s name servers.
Instead of using Sakura’s name servers “Name Server 1 (ns1.dns.ne.jp)” and “Name Server 2 (ns2.dns.ne.jp)”, this method uses Onamae.com’s name servers with Sakura Rental Server.
Configure “DNS Record Settings” under Onamae.com’s “DNS Settings/Forwarding Settings”
Log in to Onamae.com and select your custom domain under “DNS Settings/Forwarding Settings – Domain List”
On the “DNS Settings/Forwarding Settings – Domain List” screen, select your custom domain and click the “Next” button.
Under “DNS Settings/Forwarding Settings – Function List”, click “Use DNS Record Settings”
On the “DNS Settings/Forwarding Settings – Function List” screen, click the “Use DNS Record Settings” button.
