Frequently Asked Questions

These instructions assume you have turned on our DNS and that your domain name registration has our name servers listed. To turn DNS on for a new domain, see this FAQ entry; to turn it on for a domain you've newly registered with or transferred to us (that wasn't already using our DNS), see this one.

To add resource records:

1. Visit the "domains" page
2. Click "Manage" under the "DNS" column for the relevant domain (this will say "Add" if you haven't enabled DNS for this domain yet, so do that first and then begin these instructions again)
3. Click "Add a DNS Resource Record" in the "Actions" box on the next page; instructions for setting up different record types are included on the following page.

To remove existing resource records:

1. Visit the "domains" page
2. Click "Manage" under the "DNS" column for the relevant domain
3. Any records that can be deleted will have "Remove" buttons next to them.

NOTE: If you want to remove a CNAME record pointing to an .nfshost.com address but do not see a "remove" button, this is an alias you added to your site that must be removed from your site before it will disappear from your DNS records. To remove an alias, visit the "sites" page and click on the relevant site short name; the next page will list the aliases and provide "Remove" buttons.
