DNS records control where different services for your domain point. You manage them in cPanel under Zone Editor if the domain is hosted with us.
Common record types:
- A record: points a name (like
yourdomain.rw) to an IP address (your server). - CNAME record: points a name to another name (for example
wwwtoyourdomain.rw). - MX record: directs email for your domain to the correct mail server.
- TXT record: holds text values, often used for email verification (SPF, DKIM) and domain ownership checks.
Editing DNS incorrectly can take your website or email offline, so change one record at a time and keep a note of the original values. If you are unsure, open a ticket and tell us what you are trying to achieve.
