Stackspin needs two DNS records that point to your cluster.  It is important to
create these DNS records before you start the installation, so Stackspin can
secure your connections with https certificates from `Let's Encrypt
<https://letsencrypt.org>`__.

Create these two DNS records:

-  An ``A`` record ``stackspin.example.org`` pointing to the cluster's IP address,
-  A ``CNAME`` record ``*.stackspin.example.org`` pointing to ``stackspin.example.org``.

.. Note::

   It is also possible to host Stackspin on a domain without a dedicated
   subdomain. That does imply that the included WordPress site will be hosted on
   your root domain (i.e. ``https://example.org``). In that case, make these DNS
   records instead:

   - An ``A`` record ``example.org`` pointing to the cluster's IP address,
   - A ``CNAME`` record ``*.example.org`` pointing to ``example.org``.
