What is a DNS zone?

DNS is like a phone book for the internet. It turns a website name into a number that computers understand. A DNS zone is the page of that phone book that belongs to your domain. It holds small entries called records. Each record says where something goes, such as your website or your email.

You edit the zone where your domain's nameservers point. Nameservers are the computers that hold the zone. If your domain uses Indoreg nameservers, you edit the zone at Indoreg.

Warning: A wrong record can take your website or email offline. Write down the old values before you change anything.

Before you start

  • Have your Indoreg client login ready.
  • Find the values you need to add. For Hostvento hosting, the server IP address is in your welcome email. If you cannot find it, ask Hostvento support.

Steps

  1. Log in to your Indoreg client area.
  2. Open the Domains menu and choose your list of domains.
  3. Click the domain you want to edit, or use its manage button.
  4. Look for a DNS option. It is often named DNS Management, Manage DNS or Nameservers and DNS.
  5. Read the existing records and note their values.
  6. To add a record, choose the type and fill in the host name and the value. An A record links a name to an IP address. A CNAME record links one name to another name. An MX record tells the world where email goes.
  7. To change a record, edit its value in the list.
  8. To delete a record, use its delete option. Only delete what you are sure about.
  9. Click Save.

The DNS tool only works when the domain uses Indoreg nameservers. Check the nameserver page of the domain first. If another company holds the nameservers, edit the zone there.

After the change

DNS changes do not show at once. They can take from a few minutes to some hours to spread. This waiting time is called propagation. Clear your browser cache and test again later.

Tip: The exact labels can differ by account. If you cannot find the DNS page, ask Indoreg support where it is.
