Changing DNS Settings

At the main control panel menu, click the "DNS Menu" icon to access the DNS settings.

Above is an example of the DNS settings for site-helper.com. The next sections provide information on changing A, CNAME, NS, MX, and PTR records. In the meantime, it is important to understand how the control panel handles hostnames.

Important: There are two ways to enter a hostname:

1. The full hostname followed by a period: full.hostname.com.
2. The subdomain alone: full

For example, the first record in the table above can read:

admin A 216.194.67.119 or

admin.site-helper.com. A 216.194.67.119

Both records do the exact same thing. The sections below may discuss only one method but either is acceptable.

Hint: If you are unsure how to enter a record, look at the existing records in the table for guidance.
