The DNS zone tells the internet where each part of your domain goes: the website, email and verifications for services like Google. If your domain uses our name servers (ns1.fodenflow01.com and ns2.fodenflow01.com), you edit it from your panel.
Add a record
- In your hosting, under Domains, open DNS zone and choose the domain if you have more than one.
- Click Add record and choose the Type (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV, CAA or NS).
- In Name, type just the first part (www, blog, _dmarc) or @ for the domain itself.
- Fill in the details (you can click Use on one of the examples, such as Google Workspace email or an SPF) and click Add.
Common examples
- Google Workspace MX (name @, priority 1)
smtp.google.com- SPF for Google Workspace (TXT on @)
v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all- Basic DMARC (TXT on _dmarc)
v=DMARC1; p=none
To change or delete a record, use Edit or Delete on its row. Records marked Protected (the SOA and the domain's name servers) can't be changed here. Long TXT records, such as DKIM keys, are split into parts automatically.
We save a copy of the zone before every change (the last 30). Under Zone backups you can go back to any of them with Restore.
Changes apply on our servers instantly, but the rest of the internet may take a while to see them (up to the TTL, usually a few minutes to 4 hours). If you change the MX records, email moves to that service and your hosting mailboxes stop receiving.
