Understanding and Accessing the Total DNS Control

If you use our nameservers for your domain, Total DNS Control allows you to perform advanced DNS functions, such as changing your zone records. You can add, edit, and delete records and copy records from one domain to another. Use Advanced or Wizard mode to make your changes, whichever works best for you. You can modify A records, CNAMES, MX records, TXT records, SRV records, and AAAA records. For example, you change these settings if two different companies service your email and hosting. For more information about zone files and records, see What are zone files and zone records?.

NOTE: If you do not use our nameservers for your domain, you do not have access to the Total DNS Control.
