Record to add (same for all companies)
| Type | CNAME |
|---|---|
| Name (hostname) | global * The subdomain portion specified in the dashboard. For "global.example.co.jp", this is global |
| Value (target / content) | publish.sotomuke.com * On screens that require a trailing period publish.sotomuke.com. |
| TTL | Auto, or 300–3600 |
After adding the record, click "Check settings" in the dashboard to view DNS propagation and certificate issuance status. The site usually goes live within a few minutes, and at most within about an hour.
Steps
- Log in to the Sakura Internet member menu, then open "Zone Editing" (or "DNS Settings") for the target domain from "Contracted Domain List."
- Click "Add Record," and for the entry name enter
globalfor the subdomain,CNAME, and for the value enterpublish.sotomuke.com.(including the trailing period). - Click "Register," and be sure to click "Save" at the top of the screen.
- Click "Check settings" on the Sotomuke dashboard.
In Sakura's zone editor, a value without a trailing period may be interpreted as a different name.publish.sotomuke.com. Please enter it as shown.
Common pitfalls
- Entering the full "global.example.co.jp" as the name. Most control panels fill in the domain part automatically, so
globalalone is sufficient. If the saved record looks like "global.example.co.jp.example.co.jp", this is the cause. - Confusing it with an A record. The type must always be CNAME. Do not enter an IP address.
- Touching existing records. You only need to add a record; there is no need to change or delete existing ones. Your Japanese site will not be affected.
- Changes take time to take effect. Usually it takes a few minutes, but with a long TTL or depending on the registrar, it can take up to about an hour. You can check the current status with the "Check settings" button.
