General Usage Guide

Host Column: Any value of the host column will be automatically appended to your domain. So if you have abc in the host, then the record you are entering will actually be applied to abc.yourdomain.com

If you want to apply the DNS setting to your actual domain itself, then enter yourdomain.com. in the host column. Special Note 1: Notice the period (.) at the end of the domain. This is very important, without it the record will be applied as yourdomain.com.yourdomain.com

Value Column: This is for the actual value you want to apply to the record itself.

A Record

This record will translate a domain to a IP address

AAAA Record

This record will translate a domain to a IPv6 address

MX Record

This record will determine where your email is delivered to 

0 is the highest priority, which means the email will get delivered to the server with priority 0 first

Important: The Special Note 1 is applied on the value column. If you simply just enter abc.com without the period, then the value will translate to abc.com.yourdomain.com and your CNAME will not work

CNAME Record

This record will translate a domain to another domain's IP address

For example, if you want to translate abc.yourdomain.com -> abc.com

Host Column: abc

Value Column: abc.com. 

Important: The Special Note 1 is applied on the value column. If you simply just enter abc.com without the period, then the value will translate to abc.com.yourdomain.com and your CNAME will not work

TXT Record

This record will store any special instruction or verification code for a domain/subdomain. 

SRV Record
