Full Access to DNS Server:

Using our Hosting Control Panel you have full access to the DNS server such that you can set up Sub-Domains, A, MX, CNAME entries.

What is an A record? An A record is used to point to your domain. You point to the address of the server that holds your domain account. This can only be an IP address. If you need to point to a server name you will need to use CNAME records. You may not point to a URL. No DNS server can point to a URL. If you need to point to a URL you will have to use URL forwarding services which is part of our Domain Redirection Service. What is an MX record? An MX record is used to determine what server will be used to send and receive e-mail. When using this type of record be sure you set your DNS server data to point to the proper IP or server name. This cannot be a URL. Be aware that the server or IP that you direct your MX record to must recognize your domain name. If the server you point to does not recognize or does not have your domain name in it's databases, you mail servers will not work. Our mail servers are configured to work with your paid service and configure your DNS servers automatically for you upon web site creation. What is a CNAME record? A CNAME record is used to point to a server using the server domain name instead of an IP address. If you need to point to an IP address, use the A record method. You point to the server name that holds your domain account. This can only be a server name, not an IP address. You may not point to a URL. No DNS server can point to a URL. If you need to point to a URL you will have to use URL forwarding services which is part of deluxeDNS.
