DNS (Domain Name System) records control how your domain behaves and points to different services. JomeTech Africa allows you to configure common DNS records.
Common DNS Records:
- A Record: Points your domain to an IP address.
- CNAME Record: Maps a subdomain to another domain (e.g., www to your main domain).
- MX Record: Directs emails to your mail server.
- TXT Record: Verifies domain ownership and adds security features like SPF and DKIM.
How to Update DNS Records in cPanel:
- Log in to cPanel via your client portal.
- Navigate to the Zone Editor under the Domains section.
- Locate your domain and click Manage.
- Add, edit, or delete DNS records as needed:
- For A records, enter the IP address of your hosting server.
- For CNAME records, specify the domain you want to map to.
- For MX records, enter the mail server details.
- For TXT records, paste the verification or security code.
- Save your changes.
- Wait for DNS propagation, which can take up to 24 hours.
