Hosting a GCP instance on a WP Subdomain

I have a custom domain (mydomain.com) hosted on Wordpress.com. I also have a Mautic instance hosted on Google Cloud (GCP). How do I make my Mautic instance ride on a subdomain (mautic.mydomain.com)?

Solution 1:

If I understand your config correctly, then you can find full instruction here:

At WordPress.com
Go to your Domains page (My Site → Manage → Domains) and click the domain you wish to add the subdomain to.
Click Name Servers and DNS, then DNS Records.
In Type select CNAME or A.
Enter the subdomain you want in Name.
Enter the information provided from the service you’re trying to connect to under Alias Of (for CNAME) or Points To (for A Records).
For example for Tumblr sites, you’ll need something like this: tumblr alias of domains.tumblr.com Click Add New DNS Record

In your case, you should input as follows:

Type
A

Name
mautic

Points to
mautic deployment IP

You can find IP of mautic deployment in GCP → Compute Engine → VM Instances → External IP
