Managing Your Domain’s DNS

The Domain Name System (DNS) is the fundamental directory of the internet, translating human-readable domain names into the numerical IP addresses required by web servers. Mastering your DNS records allows you to control how your domain connects to websites, email servers, and other critical web services. The FREAKHOSTING Web Control Panel provides a strong and intuitive interface for managing these entries with high precision.

​
Modifying DNS Entries

Whether you are pointing your domain to a new server or setting up a professional email service, the procedure is standardized.
  1. Click the Add Record button at the top of the interface.
  2. Type: Select the record type:
    • A: Point to an IPv4 address.
    • AAAA: Point to an IPv6 address.
    • CNAME: Map a subdomain to another domain name.
    • MX: Define mail servers (requires priority).
    • TXT: Used for verification (SPF, DKIM, Google Search Console).
  3. Name: Enter the prefix (e.g., www or use @ for the root domain).
  4. Content: Input the target value.
  5. TTL: We recommend using the default value of 300.
  6. Click Save to commit the entry.

​
Specialized Tools

If you use Google Workspace (Gmail), you can automatically configure all necessary MX records by clicking the Google Workspace button within the DNS interface. This ensures all priorities and values are set correctly without manual entry.
Our panel supports DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions). Toggle this feature to add a layer of security by cryptographically signing your DNS records, protecting your visitors from DNS spoofing and cache poisoning.

​
Technical Propagation Notice

DNS changes are not instantaneous across the entire internet. While our panel updates your records immediately, it can take anywhere from 15 minutes to 24 hours for global DNS caches to recognize the new values.
You can use external tools such as DNSChecker.org to monitor the worldwide propagation status of your updated records in real-time.

​
Critical Configuration

Incorrectly modifying your DNS records can lead to website downtime or the failure of your email delivery systems. Always ensure you have the correct values from your destination host before applying changes.
