DNS records

Open Control panel → DNS. The page works with the active domain selected in Domains.

WebShield supports these record types:

  • A
  • AAAA
  • CNAME
  • MX
  • TXT
  • SRV
  • CAA

System SOA and NS records cannot be modified through the control panel API.

  1. Click Add record.
  2. Enter the record name. Use @ for the apex domain or a subdomain name such as www.
  3. Select the record type.
  4. Set TTL. Allowed range: 0 to 2147483647 seconds.
  5. Enter values. Multiple values can be entered line by line.
  6. Save the record.
  • A - IPv4 address, for example 192.0.2.10.
  • AAAA - IPv6 address.
  • CNAME - target domain name. WebShield adds the trailing dot if missing.
  • MX - <priority> <target>, for example 10 mail.example.com..
  • SRV - <priority> <weight> <port> <target>.
  • TXT - text value. WebShield wraps it in quotes if they are missing.
  • CAA - certificate authority parameters.

The DNS table supports search by name, type, or value and filtering by type.

When editing an existing record, WebShield protects against conflicts: if another session changed the record, refresh the list and repeat the change.

Removing a record in the interface disables the selected record.

The number of DNS records per domain is limited by the plan. Attempting to add a record beyond the limit is rejected — remove unneeded records or upgrade to a plan with a larger limit.
