Activate WEDOS Global on a Domain
Before activating the WEDOS Global add-on service, make sure that the domain is using our DNS servers. Instructions can be found in the article Domains – DNS Servers (NSSET).
You can activate WEDOS Global as a domain add-on service as part of a new domain order, or later in the customer administration panel. Detailed instructions for activating additional services can be found in the article Services – Add-ons.
When activated in this way, the system will automatically set up the following:
- change type A and AAAA DNS records (for the main domain and * subdomains);
- basic Global system settings for the selected plan.
The setup process will typically take place within 30 minutes from the add-on activation, or once the DNS servers are set to WEDOS.
Once the domain is created or immediately after activating the additional service in the customer administration panel, the system will add the selected domain to the WEDOS Global administration.
In the domain detail, make sure that the DNS settings are OK. If not, direct the domain to WEDOS Global in the customer administration panel, or set the correct DNS records manually.
Common Issues
Common problems with enabling the WEDOS Global add-on service include:

Solution: If your domain is registered with us, direct it to WEDOS Global according to this guide. You can find more detailed information and instructions for manual DNS settings for WEDOS Global in the article Global – DNS and target IPs.
