What is DNS?
DNS (Domain Name System) is the system that "translates" a domain name into a server IP address. DNS is what tells your browser where your website is located.
Where to change DNS records?
Client area → Domains → click on your domain → Manage DNS
Main DNS record types
| Type | Purpose | Example |
|---|---|---|
| A | Points domain to server IP | @ → 185.11.22.33 |
| CNAME | Alias — points to another domain | www → yourdomain.com |
| MX | Mail server | @ → mail.yourdomain.com |
| TXT | SPF, DKIM, verification | v=spf1 include:... |
| NS | Nameservers | ns1.ourhost.com |
