How to add or edit a DNS record

  1. In the panel open Domains, select the domain, and go to DNS.
  2. Click Add record and choose the type (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV, CAA, NS).
  3. Fill in the host/name — use @ for the root of the domain, or a label like www, blog, _dmarc for a subdomain/record name.
  4. Enter the value — an IP for A/AAAA, a target name for CNAME, the mail server for MX (with its priority), or the text string for TXT.
  5. Set a TTL — 3600s is a sensible default; lower it (e.g. 300s) if you plan to change the record again soon.
  6. Save. The record publishes to all three nameservers right away, but allow up to the TTL for caching resolvers elsewhere to catch up.

To edit, click an existing record, change the value, and save. Test with dig name TYPE +short or an external DNS checker.
