Managing DNS Records

DNS records control how your domain name resolves to servers, email services, and other online resources.

Common DNS Record Types

• A Record — Points your domain to an IPv4 address (e.g., 192.168.1.1)
• AAAA Record — Points your domain to an IPv6 address
• CNAME Record — Creates an alias pointing to another domain name
• MX Record — Directs email to mail servers (with priority numbers)
• TXT Record — Stores text data, commonly used for SPF, DKIM, and domain verification
• NS Record — Specifies the nameservers for your domain

Editing DNS Records

1. Log in to DirectAdmin.
2. Navigate to Account Manager > DNS Management.
3. Select the record type you want to add or modify.
4. Enter the record details and click Save.
