Appearance

DNS Records ​

The DNS Records page manages the DNS zone entries for hosted domains. The page header reads: "Browse, filter, and manage DNS records per domain, and synchronize changes with the live DNS server."

DNS Records Page

Overview ​

URL: /admin/settings/dns-records

Navigate to Settings > DNS > DNS Records.

The DNS area has two tabs above the table, and each is a page in its own right:

TabAddressDocumented in
Records/admin/settings/dns-recordsThis page.
Templates/admin/settings/dns-record-templateDNS Templates

Resolver Configuration, the third entry in the DNS group, is a different thing: it sets the resolvers the server itself queries, not the records the server answers with. See Resolver Configuration.

Internationalised domains

Unlike the client-panel screens, this admin table shows domain and record names exactly as they are stored, which for an internationalised domain is its Punycode (xn--) form. Search matches that stored form, so search for xn--e1afmkfd.example rather than пример.example. Values you enter are still converted for you: record names, and the content of records that hold a hostname, are saved in Punycode. See Internationalised domain names.

This interface provides:

  • A domain selector to choose the DNS zone
  • A searchable and paginated table of existing DNS records
  • Options to create, edit, and manage records inline
  • The ability to resynchronize DNS data with the server

Domain Filter ​

Use the Domain dropdown under Filters to narrow the table to one zone. Click Reset to clear the filter.

Record Table Columns ​

Each record in the table displays:

  • Domain - The full domain name
  • Name/Host - The subdomain or host (e.g. www, mail)
  • Type - DNS record type (e.g. A, AAAA, MX, NS, etc.)
  • Content - The value assigned to the record
  • TTL - Time to Live, e.g. 1 hour, 1 day
  • Actions - Inline Edit and Delete options
