Take Control of Your DNS Today
Ensuring a redundant, robust DNS service with the necessary management interfaces
can be expensive and time consuming. DNS routes the Internet traffic that connects
your web presence, e-commerce site, email, or application with your online community.
Slow connections, inaccessible web sites and undeliverable
email can result in unhappy customers and lost revenue.

control. Our Managed DNS service ensures DNS record changes are propagated to the authoritative
nameservers within five minutes. Our intuitive browser-based management tool makes managing your
domain fast and easy!

Zone Management Options
Hostnames (A Records)
An A record specifies the numeric IP address for a hostname. If you wish to create
an A record for your domain, simply enter the IP address. If you wish to create an
A record for a subdomain, enter the subdomain and the IP address.
Aliases (CNAME Records)
A CNAME record is used to create an alias. This record points a hostname for your domain to another hostname.
Mail Exchanges (MX Records)
An MX record specifies where mail is delivered for your domain or a subdomain.
The mail server that mail is delivered to is referred to as the mail exchange.
If you wish to create an MX record, enter the mail exchange and preference.
If you wish to create an MX record for mail sent to a subdomain, enter the subdomain,
mail exchange and preference.
TXT Records
The purpose of a TXT record is to store general information about particular
hostname or device. The fields for a TXT record are hostname and comments.
The hostname is the host for which you are adding comments, and the comments
field is the plain text that you wish to associate with this device.
Subdomain Delegation (NS Records)
To delegate subdomains specify the subdomain and Fully Qualified Domain Name
(FQDN) of the nameserver(s) that will act for the subdomain.
Retrieve Zone Information
This allows you to retrieve the zone records for the zone if it is currently
active with another DNS provider. This retrieve option will attempt to retrieve
all records in the zone, but may not successfully retrieve all records. Retrieved
zone records will be added to existing records by default. If you wish to overwrite
and delete your current zone record entries so that they are replaced with the
retrieved entries, then check the Delete All Current Zone Records checkbox and
click the Retrieve button.
Restore Current Default Zone Settings
If at any time you'd like to restore ALL of the zone records to the current default settings,
click the Reset (all) Zone Defaults button below. As an important note, this will overwrite
and delete your current zone entries and replace them with the default entries.
Domain Forwarding Options
Domain Forwarding
Enter the URL for the website you would like your visitors to be forwarded to when
they type your domain name in the browser address window. The "URL frame" option provides
you with the ability to maintain your domain name (e.g., http://www.yourdomain.com) in the
browser address window no matter what link a person clicks on within your Website, instead
of the actual address (e.g., http://www.somehostingprovider.com/~mysite/123).
Domain for Sale Template
You may use this option to make visitors to your web site aware that your domain is for sale.
You have the option of using the generic text provided or you may customize the text to meet your needs.
Domain Under Construction Template
You may use this option to make visitors aware that your web site is under construction.
A generic "Under Contruction" page will be displayed.
Subdomain Forwarding
Subdomains are like having extra domain forwarding addresses. With subdomains you can setup
"anything.yourdomain.com" to go to any web site you wish. For example, you may wish to
setup a help center for your customers and have "help.yourdomain.com" forwarded there.
The "URL frame" option provides you with the ability to maintain your domain name
(e.g., help.yourdomain.com) in the browser address window no matter what link a
person clicks on within your Website, instead of the actual address (e.g.,
http://www.somehostingprovider.com/~mysite/123).
