Understanding the DNS Manager
You can use the DNS Manager to manage the DNS for your domain names that meet the following criteria:
- Registered here and using our nameservers (not including CashParking® or Quick Content)
- Registered elsewhere and using our shared hosting
- Registered elsewhere and using our DNS (Off-Site DNS)
NOTE: The list of domain names in the DNS Manager might differ from the list in the Domain Manager. The DNS Manager lists only domain names for which you can manage the DNS, whereas the Domain Manager lists all domain names registered in your account with us.
