Editing DNS Entries #
Select the domain you want to edit, and you will be greeted with this screen.
The main features here are adding and editing DNS records, updating the settings, and importing records.
For the most part, you will be editing these types of records.
- A record: Maps a domain name to an IPv4 address.
- CNAME record: Points one domain name to another domain name.
- MX record: Specifies the mail server responsible for receiving email for a domain.
- TXT record: Stores text information for various purposes, such as verification and security.
You will find the A record from the server the website is hosted on, the CNAME records will be used to integrate third party services, such as Transaction Email services (PostMark) or setting up 3rd party dashboards, etc. MX records you will find from your email inbox provider. TXT records are usually used for domain verification, dmarc records, mail server authentication and the like.
Look at some other domains on the account for working examples.
The only settings you might need to edit would be the Applied Template or the folder the domain is placed in.
You can import from a Zone Definition, a Zone File, a saved template, or directly from a domain.
Selecting the ‘Replace Existing Records’ box will delete current records before adding new ones. Be sure to double-check this before clicking ‘Save.’
