How to add a subdomain with a different A record in Virtualmin

Here are the steps if a user wants to create an A Record for a subdomain, for example, mysubdomain.vander.host pointing to any IP address (e.g 1.1.1.1)

  1. Log in to Virtualmin
  2. Go to your Virtual Server of the parent domain (e.g ‘vander.host’).
  3. Go to DNS Settings > DNS Records
  4. At the bottom click the green “Create Record of Type” button (Make sure the type is left at “A – IPv4 Address”)
  5. Under “Record Name” select the checkbox to the right of “Same as domain” and add the subdomain ‘mysubdomain’ (without the single quotes)
  6. Under “IPv4 address” enter the IP Address (e.g 1.1.1.1) and click the orange ‘Create’ button at the bottom

Give your newly added record an hour and test propagation with What’s My DNS: https://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/mysubdomain.vander.host.

If it was done correctly then you should see the IP Address 1.1.1.1 across different locations.
