DNS records tell the internet how to route traffic for your domain. Each record type has a specific purpose.
A Record: Points your domain to a specific IP address. Example: yourdomain.com → 192.0.2.1
CNAME Record: Points a subdomain to another domain name. Example: www → yourdomain.com
MX Record: Controls where your emails are delivered. Example: mail → mailserver.yourdomain.com
TXT Record: Stores text information, often used for verification or security, such as SPF or DKIM.
SRV Record: Defines specific services like VoIP or chat servers.
You can manage your DNS records in your PassoCloud client area or cPanel under Zone Editor. Always double-check your changes before saving, as incorrect settings can cause downtime or email issues.
If you’re unsure which records to use, contact PassoCloud Support for guidance before making changes.
