Ok! Quick start Here you have it (hope will help other newbies in the future, too) :

Setup/ prepare your domains:

You main MiaB one as (example): box.yourdomain.tld

  • Go to your registar and setup yourdomain.tld glue (vanity) records as ns1.box.yourdomain.tld and ns2.box.yourdomain.tld both pointing to your BOX IP address.

  • At your registar, too and setup yourdomain.tld nameservers as ns1.box.yourdomain.tld and ns2.box.yourdomain.tld.

  • Allow up to 48 hours to the new yourdomain.tld DNS to propagate worldwide.

Your additional domains:

One you decided to use your MiaB server to manage your other domains you are accepting to use your MiaB server as your new DNS manager for them (unless you may need/ wish to copy all the new DNS entries created by your BOX for your webdomain.tld to any other external DNS manager), then:

  • Go to your registar and setup your webdomain.tld nameservers as ns1.box.yourdomain.tld and ns2.box.yourdomain.tld.

  • Allow up to 48 hours to the new webdomain.tld DNS to propagate worldwide.

To add your webdomain.tld domain to your MiaB server but pointed to your external WEB server:

  • Create your fist email address for webdomain.tld (aka sys@webdomain.tld ) and your BOX DNS manager will create automatically all your DNS records that are needed for it.

  • Finally, add custom A records by setting, at least, your webdomain.tld and www.webdomain.tld pointing to your external WEB server IP address.

  • Allow up to 48 hours to the new webdomain.tld and www.webdomain.tld DNS to propagate worldwide.

Note: You can check your DNS propagation status by using this web service: https://dnschecker.org/
