DNS is responsible for the ability to view a website using a domain registered with another web hosting provider. For a successful domain transfer or registration, you need to know the primary nameserver (NS) records and\/or the IP address for the server hosting the website (A record) to use your domain properly. The same applies to mail exchange (MX) records for using a custom domain with Google Mail, ProtonMail, and other email providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below we\u2019ll cover how to edit DNS records and add a DNS zone for a new domain in Control Web Panel (CWP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#edit\">Edit DNS Records in Control Web Panel<\/a>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#add\">Add New DNS Records<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#defined\">User Defined Records<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#zone\">Add a DNS Zone<\/a>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#advanced\">Advanced CWP DNS Setup<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"edit\">Edit DNS Records in Control Web Panel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This section covers how to modify DNS records for where domains and subdomains point to in CWP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/product-guides\/cloud-server\/install-control-web-panel-cwp\/#login\">Log into CWP<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>List DNS Zones<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Find your domain from the list and select <strong>Edit Records<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The top section is dedicated to the Start of Authority (SOA) record parameters.

It updates automatically as other DNS records for the domain are changed. Other than updating the contact email address, the SOA record is usually only modified as a last resort when dealing with DNS propagation issues since it doesn\u2019t affect whether domain can connect to a server or external service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"284\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cwp-list-zones-soa-1024x284.png\" alt=\"SOA Parameters in Control Web Panel (CWP)\" class=\"wp-image-95904\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cwp-list-zones-soa-1024x284.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cwp-list-zones-soa-300x83.png 300w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cwp-list-zones-soa-768x213.png 768w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/cwp-list-zones-soa.png 1188w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>An SOA record consists of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Parameter<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Example<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>MNAME<\/strong> (Master Name) \/ Primary nameserver (NS) record<\/td><td>ns1.inmotionhosting.com<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>RNAME<\/strong> (Responsible Name) \/ Domain owner email address<\/td><td>admin\\.devsite.example.org<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Actual <strong>serial<\/strong> number within the SOA record(YYYYMMDD##) (cannot be edited in the CWP dashboard)<\/td><td>2022041102<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Refresh rate<\/strong> in seconds<\/td><td>86400<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Retry rate<\/strong> for failed requests in seconds<\/td><td>7200<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Expiration<\/strong> if requests continue to fail in seconds<\/td><td>3600000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>TTL <\/strong>(time to live) in cache in seconds<\/td><td>86400<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can view your full SOA record in the CWP terminal with the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">dig soa yourdomain.com<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"add\">Add New DNS Records<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Underneath the SOA record is the option to add new records for your domain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AAAA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>AFSDB<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CNAME<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>DNAME<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>HINFO<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>MX<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>NS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PTR<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>RP<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SRV<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>TLSA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>TXT<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CAA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll briefly describe how to add the most common DNS record types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A record<\/strong>: the DNS record primarily responsible for converting a domain to the IPv4 address for a website or application.

SPF states what server IPs should be sending email from that domain. It also states how strictly email providers should reject emails marked from that domain but a different IP not stated in the SPF record. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code>v=spf1 +a +mx +ip4:1.2.3.4 -all<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This SPF record states that any email not sent from the domain and the system IP of \u201c1.2.3.4\u201d should be rejected outright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DMARC reinforces that any mail that fails SPF validation be rejected in the case that an email provider doesn\u2019t comply with SPF. Here\u2019s a DMARC record that quarantines email supposedly sent from your domain that fails SPF validation and sends an email notification:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><code>v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; sp=none; ruf=mailto:admin@example.com; rf=afrf; pct=100; ri=86400<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend you learn more about how to create a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/email\/create-custom-spf\/\">SPF record<\/a> strong enough to secure your email server environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"defined\">User Defined Records<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At the bottom the \u201cUser Defined Records\u201d section lists all DNS records for the domain. You should review this list after creating a DNS zone to ensure the records suit your needs, or edit them from here. If you decide to change the email provider for a domain or redirect a subdomain to an external platform like Blogger, this is where you\u2019ll make DNS changes.
