Freenom, How to setup A, MX, CNAME or other records for a domain name?

HOW TO USE FREENOM DNS SERVICE

FREENOM SUPPORT


If you want to add your own A, MX, CNAME or other DNS records,

you can: and of course at no charge.


STEP 1

------


For this, you first and foremost need to set the

name servers for your domain to the name servers of Freenom.


You do this by:


Go to My Domains

Click on Manage Domain

Click on Management Tools

Click on Nameservers

Select Use default nameservers


Press Change Nameservers

DONE!


STEP 2

------

Now you can setup your DNS records, by going to

the Manage Freenom DNS area.


You do this by:

Go to My Domains

Click on Manage Domain

Manage Freenom DNS


Now you can enter a variety of different DNS records,

including A, MX and CNAME records.


Extra remarks:


- You can use the 'name' field blank if you want to assign

a DNS record (like A record) to your entire domain


- For MX records, you need to add a priority. Simply type

in '10' (without quotes) in that field if you only have

one mail exchange (MX) server for your domain.


It will take normally up to 30 minutes before name

server changes are distributed within our DNS servers.


Thank you for using Freenom
