DNS Management
New DNS records are added on this page. You could be within any one of five
types of DNS records: A,
NS, MX, CNAME, and PTR.
Different arguments should be entered for different types of DNS records:
- A: In the first field enter the domain name for which you wish to associate an IP address. Then
enter the valid IP address you want the above domain name to be associated
with.
- NS: In the first
field enter the domain name for which you wish to identify a name server.
If you are doing this for you main domain, this field would be left blank. In
the second field enter the nameserver
you want to be responsible for the given domain.
-
MX: In the first field enter the domain name for which you wish to
identify a mail exchanger. If you are doing this for you main domain, this
field should be left blank. Then select the priority of this mail exchange
server. Do note that 0 is the highest priority selectable. And finally,
specify the mail exchange server that you want to receive mail for the domain.
- CNAME: In the
first field enter hostname in your domain and in second field enter the
appropriate canonical name for the given hostname.
- PTR: In the first field enter the IP appropriate address and mask. A reverse zone will be generated using the given IP address and mask. In the second field enter the host name
in the domain that you want to associate with the given IP address.
NOTE: The PTR record is only needed if your system is responsible for
your reverse zone. Also, the use of asterisk ( * ) is allowed in the beginning of the first field entry.
For more detailed definitions on the above records refer to the user manual.
After filling all the necessary fields, click on the OK button and your record will be added to the DNS zone for your domain.
