To Manage DNS Records at Shricloud:
To manage DNS records at Shricloud, go to the Domains section and click on the Manage button, or on the ellipsis and select Manage:
If your domain is purchased elsewhere (other than Shricloud) and pointing to Shricloud nameservers, you’ll find it in the External domains section below My Domains.
Then, select the DNS / Nameservers from the left sidebar:
NOTE
-
If the external domain is pointed elsewhere (not to Shricloud) by nameservers, the domain’s DNS zone management is moved to the provider you pointed the domain to and should be managed from there
At the top of the DNS / Nameservers section, there are four main tabs: DNS records, Child nameservers, DNSSEC and DNS History:
The availability of setting up child nameservers and DNSSEC may vary depending on the domain’s TLD 💡
Manage DNS Records
If you choose DNS records, you will reach the DNS zone management, where you can add, edit and delete records:
Add Record
To create a new record, enter the values for type, name, content, TTL (based on record type, you may need to fill in other information as well). Once it’s done, click on Add Record:
Edit or Delete Records
You can consult the full list of DNS records for your domain below the Add record option, and use the search bar to find a specific record. You will have the option to delete or edit the record to the right:
-
Delete a record
-
Modify the record’s values
Any DNS Record changes trigger propagation, which can last up to 24 hours to propagate. If you change the domain’s nameservers to a different provider, the DNS Zone management will move to where you pointed your nameservers.
Restore Records
To restore your DNS zone to a previous version, select the DNS History tab and click on Restore next to the date for which you want to roll back any DNS changes:
Verify that these are the records you want to use to fully replace the current values, scroll down and mark the checkbox to accept that restoring DNS may affect your current website and that it will require some time for the changes to apply.
Once all is good to go, click on the Restore DNS zone and, once propagation is completed, your DNS records will be restored.
If you are still able to not do it contact us.
For your reference we are providing more information about Dns records:
DNS (Domain Name System) records are fundamental components of internet infrastructure responsible for translating human-readable domain names into machine-readable IP addresses. They play a crucial role in directing traffic, managing email delivery, and configuring various services associated with domain names. Here’s a more comprehensive overview of DNS records:
-
A (Address) Record:
- A records map domain names to IPv4 addresses. They are used to point a domain name to a specific IP address, enabling users to access websites hosted on web servers identified by those addresses.
-
AAAA (IPv6 Address) Record:
- AAAA records perform the same function as A records but for IPv6 addresses. They map domain names to IPv6 addresses, facilitating access to websites and services over IPv6 networks.
-
CNAME (Canonical Name) Record:
- CNAME records alias one domain name to another. They are used when you want multiple domain names to resolve to the same IP address or when setting up subdomains.
-
MX (Mail Exchange) Record:
- MX records specify the mail servers responsible for receiving email for a domain. They direct incoming emails to the appropriate mail servers, ensuring reliable email delivery.
-
TXT (Text) Record:
- TXT records store arbitrary text data associated with a domain. They have various uses, including domain verification, SPF (Sender Policy Framework), DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail), and DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) configuration.
-
SPF (Sender Policy Framework) Record:
- SPF records specify which mail servers are authorized to send emails on behalf of a domain. They help prevent email spoofing and phishing by allowing email servers to verify the authenticity of incoming messages.
-
DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) Record:
- DKIM records are used for email authentication by adding cryptographic signatures to outgoing emails. They verify that the emails have not been altered in transit and were indeed sent by the claimed domain.
-
DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) Record:
- DMARC records build upon SPF and DKIM to provide domain owners with greater control over email authentication policies. They specify how email receivers should handle messages that fail SPF or DKIM checks and provide reporting capabilities for monitoring email activity.
-
NS (Name Server) Record:
- NS records specify the authoritative name servers for a domain. They delegate DNS resolution for the domain to the specified name servers.
-
SRV (Service) Record:
- SRV records define the location of specific services within a domain. They are used primarily for protocols like SIP, XMPP, and LDAP to locate services such as VoIP servers, chat servers, and directory services.
Understanding and properly configuring DNS records is essential for managing domain names, ensuring proper website and email functionality, and maintaining a secure and reliable online presence. Each DNS record type serves a specific purpose and contributes to the overall functionality and performance of domain name resolution and associated services.
