In this post we will explain how to work with DNS. We will explain how to work with zone management.

Modify zone file: Using the dns management feature will allow you to modify a domains zone file, which contains all of the DNS records for the particular domain. Please note, once you add two records and save the zone file, two new fields will appear for you to add more records. This feature is useful if you want to point subdomainsto an alternate server or if you want subdomains to forward to your existing domain”s IP address without actually creating the diresctory. If you want to simply point sub.domain.com to domain.com then you would not have to add the subdomain via the Domain Management page as you would not need the public directories for the subdomain available via FTP, you would simply add the record using DNS Management.

Record: It si recommended leaving all existing records in tact unless you know exactly what you are doing. When adding a new record simply enter the record name you would like to create or use * as a wildcard.

Record type: Please select the record type. At this time, HMSPANEL only supports the creation of A records.

IP Address: Please add the IP address you want to point the record to. You can use IP addresses currently available on the server or you can point the records to IP addresses on another server under another network.
