How and Where you can manage DNS records depends on where you DNS is located. to find out where to manage dns records check the nameservers of your domain is pointing to.
There can be three possible scenario about how to manage DNS records:-
- Your domain is registered at SOSTEC, then you can manage DNS record at client area.
- Your domain is not registered with us but the domain is it pointing to SOSTEC nameservers, this can happen when you domain is hosted with us or using DNS hosting.
- Your domain is not registered with SOSTEC and domain is not pointing to our nameserver, in this case you can manage DNS records from where your domain nameserver is point to.
If your domain DNS is pointing to our nameserver, you can add, edit, delete DNS records.
A record: your domain’s principal DNS record, which links it to an IP address and routes users to your website.
Subdomain: Any DNS record that appears as name.yourwebsite.com before your domain name. a subdomain can be pointed to an IP address
CNAME: it is same as subdomain in terms of the prefix but it can only be pointed to URL for example store.yourwebsite.com that points to another url like google.com
MX records: This record manages your email addresses and makes sure that emails work properly.
TXT record: enables you to set up email sender policies and confirm domain ownership.
SPF record: is a standard email authentication method. SPF helps protect your domain against spoofing.
NS record: NS stands for ‘nameserver,’ and the nameserver record indicates which DNS server is authoritative for that domain.
