DNS records are settings that decide where requests for your domain go. They are managed in Plesk under Websites & Domains > DNS Settings and in cPanel under Domains > Zone Editor.
Most common records
| Record | What it does | Example |
|---|---|---|
| A | Points the domain to an IPv4 address. | yourdomain.com → 192.0.2.10 |
| AAAA | Points the domain to an IPv6 address. | yourdomain.com → 2001:db8::1 |
| CNAME | Points one name to another name (alias). | www → yourdomain.com |
| MX | Sets the server that receives email. The lower priority value is tried first. | 10 mail.yourdomain.com |
| TXT | Holds text. Used for SPF, DKIM, DMARC and Google/Microsoft verification. | v=spf1 a mx ~all |
| NS | Shows which servers manage the domain's DNS. | dns1.webevi.com |
| CAA | Sets which companies may issue SSL certificates. | 0 issue "letsencrypt.org" |
Common tasks
- Using Google Workspace or Microsoft 365
- Delete the existing MX records, then add the MX records and the verification TXT record your provider gives you.
- Pointing a subdomain to another service
- For example, add a CNAME record for
shoppointing to the address the service gives you. - Pointing the website to another server
- Change the A records for
@andwwwto the new IP address.
Note: A name cannot have a CNAME and another record at the same time. A domain should have only one SPF (v=spf1) record. To manage records in the webevi panel, your domain's NS addresses must point to webevi.
