This article provides the correct nameserver settings and recommendations for configuration.
Webland Nameservers
Please use the following nameservers and, if required, the corresponding IP addresses:
ns1.webland.ch (92.43.216.7)
ns2.webland.ch (92.43.217.7)
ns3.webland.ch (92.43.216.8)
ns4.webland.ch (92.43.217.8)
External Management of Nameservers and DNS Zones
If you choose to manage your own nameservers or DNS zones, please follow this key rule:
Never use direct IP addresses—always use hostnames instead.
This ensures that your web and mail servers remain accessible even if the IP addresses change.
Examples of Correct DNS Entries
Example 1: MX Record for Mail Servers
✅ Correct:
MX 5 ms1.webland.ch.
❌ Incorrect:
MX 5 92.43.217.101
Why?
Using ms1.webland.ch ensures that mail forwarding remains intact even if the IP address changes.
Example 2: Web Server Entry (CNAME Instead of A Record)
✅ Correct:
$ORIGIN meinedomain.ch. www IN CNAME wl1.webland.ch.
❌ Incorrect:
$ORIGIN meinedomain.ch. www IN A 92.43.216.101
Why?
A CNAME record ensures that any changes to the web server's IP address are automatically reflected.
