Learn how to find and manage your domain's DNS zone at Zyro

Updated over a week ago

DNS records define how a domain name behaves. For example, using DNS records, you can point a domain to your web service, configure an email service or create subdomains.

Nameservers always indicate where the domain's DNS zone is managed from. Therefore, if your domain's nameservers are currently set to dns1.zyro.com and dns2.zyro.com, your domain's DNS zone is managed from Zyro.

Accessing the DNS zone

To access your domain's DNS zone, follow these steps:

1. In your Zyro account, go to the Domains page.

2. Click Manage domain next to the domain in question.

3. Expand the DNS records section and add or delete DNS records.

Adding A records

The A stands for Address. The A-type DNS record points to a particular IP address.

In your Zyro account, go to Domains → Manage domain → DNS records → Add record and create your A record:

Type

A

Name

Insert @ for your root domain (domain.tld) or any particular word for a subdomain (like good in good.domain.tld)

IPv4 address

Insert the preferred IP address

TTL

Auto

Finally, save the record.

Adding CNAME records

A CNAME record, or a Canonical Name, creates an alias that links to a web address.

In your Zyro account, go to Domains → Manage domain → DNS records → Add record and create your CNAME record:

Type

CNAME

Name

Insert the preferred name for a subdomain, like good in good.domain.tld; we will automatically append your domain name

Target

TTL

Auto

Finally, save the record.

Adding MX records

The MX stands for Mail Exchanger. These records specify the mail server responsible for sending and receiving emails on behalf of a domain name.

In your Zyro account, go to Domains → Manage domain → DNS records → Add record and create your MX record:

Type

MX

Name

Insert @

Mail server

Insert the value given by your email provider

In your Zyro account, go to Domains → Manage domain → DNS records → Add record and create your TXT record:

Type

TXT

Name

Insert @ or the provided value

Content

Insert the provided value

TTL
