DNS management for your domain
Point your domain at your website and email without opening a support ticket. Add, change and delete DNS records yourself from your client portal.
DNS records you can manage
| Record | What it does | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| A | Points a name to an IPv4 address | Connecting your domain to your website server |
| AAAA | Points a name to an IPv6 address | Same as A, for servers using IPv6 |
| CNAME | Points one name to another name | Pointing www to your main domain |
| MX | Tells the internet where to deliver email | Connecting business email |
| TXT | Stores text that other services can read | SPF records and domain verification |

What is DNS?
DNS is the internet's address book. When someone types your domain, DNS tells their browser which server to visit and tells other mail servers where to deliver your email.
You rarely need to change it, but you do when you move your website, connect a new email service or verify your domain with another provider.
DNS records or nameservers?
Nameservers decide which company answers DNS questions for your domain. DNS records are the individual answers. Change your nameservers to hand control to another provider, or change records to adjust a single setting.
Changes are not instant. Depending on the TTL (the time a record may be cached) and on your nameservers, an update can take from minutes to a few hours to spread.
