Edit DNS records at Aruba.it

Before you start

• Any plan. Connecting a domain you own is free on every plan.
• An Aruba login and a published yaya site.
• The domain uses Aruba name servers. With other name servers, Aruba lets you edit only the NS records.

In yaya, open Website > Domain, type the name in Hostname, and click Connect domain. Keep the DNS steps open.

Sign in and find the DNS page

1. Go to admin.aruba.it and sign in. The user name looks like 123456@aruba.it.
2. Open the control panel of the domain.
3. Click Dominio.
4. Click Gestione DNS e Name Server.

The Aruba pages are in Italian. The names in this article are the ones on the screen.

If the domain has the Aruba Redirect service, the Gestione DNS e Name Server item is missing. Aruba says to switch the domain to the Dominio service. Then you can manage both.

What the screen calls the fields

• Nome host is the host.
• Nome CNAME is the target of a CNAME.
• Valore is the value of a TXT record.
• TTL is a list. Keep the default.

Aruba pages do not say if the panel adds the domain to Nome host for you. Type the short name. After you save, read the row in the list. If it shows the domain twice, edit the row.

Aruba pages do not mention a final dot. Type the target as yaya shows it.

Add the CNAME record for a subdomain or www

1. Click Aggiungi record.
2. Choose CNAME (Canonical NAME) in the type list.
3. Type www in Nome host.
4. Paste the yaya target in Nome CNAME.
5. Choose the TTL.
6. Click Aggiungi.

You can click Pianifica operazione first. Then you set Data and Orario. The record becomes active only after that time. Skip this step if you do not need it.

Use the bare domain

No ALIAS option is documented. Use the www plus redirect route.

1. Connect www.example.com in yaya and add the CNAME above.
2. Open the Aruba redirect service for the domain in the control panel.
3. Redirect the bare domain to https://www.example.com.

Afterward, open Gestione DNS e Name Server. Make sure the www CNAME is still there. See Use a subdomain or www.

Add the TXT ownership record

yaya shows a name that starts with _cf-custom-hostname..

1. Click Aggiungi record and choose TXT (Text).
2. Type _cf-custom-hostname.www in Nome host.
3. Paste the yaya value in Valore. Do not leave a space at the start or end.
4. Click Aggiungi.

For the bare domain, type _cf-custom-hostname. Aruba says to leave Nome host empty only for a TXT record on the main domain itself, like SPF.

Delete or replace a conflicting record

1. Find the old record for the same host in the list.
2. Click Modifica to change it, or Elimina to remove it.
3. Confirm with Modifica or Elimina.

Check the result in yaya

1. Open Website > Domain.
2. Click Check again.

DNS can take minutes to hours. yaya sets up HTTPS on its own. There is no deploy step.

Leave your mail records as they are. See Keep your email working.

Fix common problems

There is no DNS item in the menu. The domain has the Redirect service. Switch it to Dominio.

You cannot add a CNAME. The domain uses other name servers. Edit the records at that provider.

Still waiting. See Fix a domain that won't verify.
