Manage DNS |
The Manage DNS option appears once you have selected a domain to manage AND that domain is a Primary domain. Manage DNS does not appear for replica domains, secondary (slave) domains, or replica domains. |
DNS is one of the most misunderstood services on the Internet. If you are not familiar with DNS, consult your ISP, local guru, or a good book for help. YOU CAN MESS UP YOUR DOMAIN WEBSITE AND EMAIL WITH WRONG OPTIONS! |

MX Records
The MX Record specifies a mail exchanger, which should match an A record, that will accept mail for the domain.

A Records
A Records (address records) map host names to IP addresses.

CNAME Records
CNAME Records (canonical name records) are aliases for host names. Here you can add an Alias for a host or another alias. Fully qualified hostnames should end with a period. Hostnames that do not end with a period are supposed to be relative names for this domain.
