How to manage DNS records
DNS records tell the internet where your website and email are. The most common types:
- A - points a name to an IPv4 address (your website).
- CNAME - makes one name an alias of another (for example
www→yourdomain.com). - MX - tells the world which servers receive your email.
- TXT - text records used for SPF, DKIM, DMARC and domain verification.
Where to edit them
- If your nameservers are on our hosting: cPanel → Zone Editor.
- If your nameservers are elsewhere (for example Cloudflare): edit them in that provider's DNS panel.
Change one thing at a time, keep a copy of the old value, and remember that changes need time to spread. Wrong MX or A records can take your email or website offline.
