How to Change DNS Zones (MX, CNAME and A Records) Print

  • 0

Shared Hosting:

With cPanel, users are granted access to make some DNS changes from within the control panel. Please note that this effect will only work if Trafficpullz's nameservers or private nameservers registered with Trafficpullz IPs are being used.

  • Users can create and edit A and CNAME records by going to the Simple DNS Zone Editor which is found under the Domains section in cPanel.
  • Users can also create and edit MX records with the MX Entry icon found under the Mail section in cPanel. For more information,please see:Local,Backup, and Remote Mail Exchanger.
  • Users can easily customize SPF records using the Email Authentication icon under the Mail section in cPanel.
  • Users can also add TXT records using the Advanced DNS Zone Editor icon under the Domains section in cPanel.

Local, Backup, and Remote Mail Exchanger:

This is a setting that tells Trafficpullz how to handle your incoming emails. We recommend using Automatically Detect Configuration, but sometimes we need to change this setting in order to make all emails arrive.

  1. Go to cPanel and click the MX Entry icon.
    • Local Mail Exchanger - Use this if the highest priority MX record points to an IP on this server.
    • Backup Mail Exchanger
      • Shared and Reseller: This setting is not compatible with our shared servers; use Automatically Detect Configuration instead.
      • VPS and Dedicated: The use of a Backup Mail Exchanger with a VPS or Dedicated Server requires cPanel to be specifically configured to function which may allow spam to bypass filters* and that only includes limited support**.
    • Remote Mail Exchanger - Use this if there are no MX records that point to an IP on this server.
  2. Click the change button and test your email.
