Manage DNS records

DNS records say where your website is (A, AAAA, CNAME), where email is delivered (MX), and hold verifications and services (TXT, SRV, CAA…). In the dashboard: Domains → domain name → Manage DNS.

The list

  • At the top of the list you filter records by type (All, A, MX, TXT…).
  • Records marked System belong to our nameservers: the domain needs them and they cannot be edited.
  • The SOA row holds the zone settings (see SOA).

Add a record

  1. Click New record.
  2. Choose the Type: the fields change accordingly.
  3. Name: the part before the domain (e.g. www, shop), or empty for the domain itself (@).
  4. TTL: how long other servers remember the record. Keep the suggested value if you're not sure.
  5. Fill in the value (IP address, name, text…) and click Add record.

If the DNS server rejects the record, the reason is shown below the message: fix it and try again.

Edit and delete

Click the record or use the ⋮ menu: Edit opens the same fields, Delete asks for confirmation.

Changes apply immediately on our servers; across the rest of the internet they arrive within the record's TTL (usually from a few minutes to a few hours).

Other actions

From the ⋮ menu next to New record:

  • Apply template: adds the records for a service in one go (see DNS templates);
  • Export (zone file): downloads all records in one file, useful as a copy or to move them elsewhere.
