Above is an example of the DNS settings for QnEZ.Net.  The next sections provide information on changing A, CNAME, NS, MX, and PTR records.  In the meantime, it is important to understand how the control panel handles hostnames.

 

Important:  There are two ways to enter a hostname:

 

1.  The full hostname followed by a period:  full.hostname.com.

 

2.  The subdomain alone:  full

     

For example, the first record in the table above can read:

 

www  A  198.255.110.114   

OR...

www.qnez.net.  A  198.255.110.114

 

Both records do the same thing.  The sections below may discuss only one method but either is acceptable.

 

Hint:  If you are unsure how to enter a record, look at the existing records in the table for guidance.
