How to manage domain DNS records

Create or change A, CNAME, MX and TXT records without disrupting other services.

1 views•Step-by-step guide

Before you start

Record current values before changing DNS. An incorrect record can disconnect your website or email.

  • Access to the domain or its cPanel DNS zone.
  • Exact values supplied by the service you are connecting.

1. Choose where to manage DNS

Use Domains > DNS in the client area when HostNuvem manages DNS, or use Zone Editor in cPanel.

2. Find the zone

Select the correct domain and review existing records.

3. Add or edit

Choose A, CNAME, MX or TXT and enter the name, value and TTL exactly as provided.

4. Avoid conflicts

Do not keep incompatible records for the same name. Verify priority values for MX records.

5. Save and wait

Save the change and allow propagation time before testing.

Important: Propagation can take several hours. Do not repeat changes during that period without checking the previous result.
