To modify forward DNS you must log in to the Customer Care section of our website. Select Manage DNS from Manage Resources on the left hand column. To modify forward DNS click on the ID to the left of your domain name.

To create a forward DNS record you will need to complete the form with the specific record you would like to create and select the add button. Below are the most commonly created records.

A Record: An A record can best be described as a host name. www.domain.com, mail.domain.com, and home.domains.com are considered A records. To add an A record you would enter the host name in the Host Name field, select IN A as the Record Type and enter the IP address under Record Data.

MX Records: Mail exchanger records are referred to as MX records. MX records specify what hostname to route emails for your domain.  You may have multiple MX records which are distinguished by priority number. Email will route to the lowest number first. To enter an MX record for a domain name leave the Host Name field blank and select IN MX from the Record Type pull down. Enter the priority number under Additional Information and then enter the hostname in the Record Data field followed by a period. 

PLEASE NOTE: Excluding a period after the host name in the Record Data field of an MX record will result in failure notices for those emailing your domain.
