How to add a new record to the DNS zone of a domain?

  1. To add a new record, click "Add record". You can also select the arrow next to it to select the record type.
  2. There will be a new line to fill. The fields to be completed will depend on the record type. The following example describes the configuration of the basic A record.

Warning: When you enter a domain in the record, the values end with a dot. Not adding it will automatically add the name of the edited domain at its end. For example: if you enter thecamels.eu in the record, you'll see thecamels.eu.thecamels.eu after save the record.
