A Complete Guide To DNS Management : DNS Records Explained

Here is an insight on some standard uses of various DNS records:

Domain Pointing And Redirecting

Whenever you need to point your domain or set up a redirect, you don’t always need to update your DNS records. For the operation you want to do, you might try using Simple Domain Pointers or 301 redirects. When it comes to sending all traffic from one domain to another, these redirects perform flawlessly. To optimize your domain, DNS records will need to be utilized.

Understanding Which DNS Records Are Correct

A zone file, or collection of DNS records, is produced for a domain when you register it with Hostvento or add an already-existing domain name to your hosting account. By default, every record in this zone file points to the Hostvento service. Only if Hostvento is pointed at by your domain’s name servers will the configurations found in the zone file be functional. The domain will use the DNS settings of the other organization if the name servers are pointing to it.

At Hostvento, we assist you in understanding how to make changes to your DNS records and can also reset them to Hostvento’s default settings. We can also help you confirm that the DNS records you view in Domain Central correspond to those that are publicly accessible. It is imperative that you realize that the DNS record propagation period may result in a 48-hour delay following your update.

Nevertheless, Hostvento won’t be able to confirm that you are using the correct DNS records if you decide to use ones that differ from the default ones provided by Hostvento. The firm from which you are attempting to direct the records should provide you with the records you use. You can contact us for help if you decide to reset the records to the Hostvento defaults.
