2. Under **Add New Domain** on the left, type your domain (for example, `example.com`). Don't include `http://` or `www.` — just the bare domain.

2. Click **Add Domain** in the top right. In the dialog, type your domain (for example, `example.com`) — just the bare domain, with no `http://` or `www.`

WHP creates a DNS zone with the standard set of records automatically for the new domain:
|

|

- **A record** for the apex domain → your server's IP
|
||||
- **CNAME** for `www` → the apex
|

- **NS records** for the nameservers

- **MX record** → the mail server
|

- **TXT record** for SPF

When we host your DNS, WHP gives you a full records editor — add, edit, or remove **A**, **CNAME**, **MX**, **TXT**, and other records yourself, no support ticket needed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Before you start
|
||||
|
||||
- A domain already added to your account. If you haven't done that yet, [add a domain](/whp/how-to/add-a-domain/) first.
|
||||
- We must be running DNS for the domain (its nameservers point at us). If your DNS lives at another provider, make these changes there instead.
|
||||
- A couple of minutes. Record changes apply quickly on our side, but can take up to 24 hours to propagate worldwide.
|
||||
|
||||
## Sign in to WHP
|
||||
|
||||
<SignIn />
|
||||
|
||||
## Open the records editor
|
||||
|
||||
<Steps>
|
||||
|
||||
1. In the sidebar, click **Domains & DNS**.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
2. Find your domain in the list and click **Manage DNS**.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
</Steps>
|
||||
|
||||
Each domain starts with a standard zone created automatically when the domain was added:
|
||||
|
||||
| Type | What it's for |
|
||||
| --- | --- |
|
||||
| **A** | Points the apex domain at your server's IP. |
|
||||
| **CNAME** | Aliases like `www` and `autoconfig` to the right host. |
|
||||
| **MX** | Routes mail for the domain to our mail server. |
|
||||
| **TXT** | SPF and DKIM records that help your mail pass authentication. |
|
||||
| **NS** | The nameservers that are authoritative for the domain. |
|
||||
| **SRV** | Service records such as mail autodiscovery. |
|
||||
|
||||
<Aside type="caution">
|
||||
Editing **MX**, **NS**, or the SPF/DKIM **TXT** records can break email delivery or hand DNS control away from us. Only change these if you know exactly what you're doing.
|
||||
</Aside>
|
||||
|
||||
## Add a record
|
||||
|
||||
<Steps>
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click **Add Record**. A new, editable row appears at the top of the table.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
2. Fill in the row:
|
||||
- **Type** — choose the record type (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, PTR, SRV, CAA, SSHFP, or TLSA).
|
||||
- **Name** — the host the record applies to. Use `@` for the domain itself, or a subdomain like `blog` for `blog.example.com`.
|
||||
- **Content** — the value: an IP for an A record, a hostname for a CNAME, and so on.
|
||||
- **Prio** — only used by record types that need a priority (like MX). Leave it blank otherwise.
|
||||
- **TTL** — how long resolvers may cache the record, in seconds. The default of `300` (5 minutes) is fine for most records.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Click **Save**. The record joins the list immediately. (Click **Cancel** to discard the row without saving.)
|
||||
|
||||
</Steps>
|
||||
|
||||
## Edit or delete a record
|
||||
|
||||
In the **Actions** column on the right of each row:
|
||||
|
||||
- The **pencil** icon opens the record for editing in place. Change any field, then save.
|
||||
- The **trash** icon deletes the record. Deletions take effect right away, so double-check before you remove anything.
|
||||
|
||||
## Find a record quickly
|
||||
|
||||
If a domain has a lot of records, use the **All types** dropdown above the table to filter by a single record type — for example, show only **MX** records while you sort out mail.
|
||||
|
||||
## Work with several records at once
|
||||
|
||||
Tick the checkboxes on the left of one or more rows to reveal the bulk-action bar:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
- **Change TTL** — set the same TTL on every selected record.
|
||||
- **Enable/Disable** — toggle records on or off without deleting them (handy for temporarily parking a record).
|
||||
- **Delete** — remove all selected records at once.
|
||||
- **Clear** — clear your selection (this does *not* delete anything).
|
||||
|
||||
## Verify it worked
|
||||
|
||||
DNS changes apply on our side within moments, but resolvers elsewhere may keep serving the old answer until the record's TTL expires (up to 24 hours for unfamiliar records).
|
||||
|
||||
- Run `dig example.com +short` (or `dig blog.example.com A +short`) from a terminal and confirm you see the value you just set.
|
||||
- Or use a web tool like [whatsmydns.net](https://www.whatsmydns.net/) to watch propagation across regions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
**My change isn't showing up yet.** Resolvers cache records for the length of their TTL. Wait for the TTL to pass, then clear your local DNS cache and check again with `dig`.
|
||||
|
||||
**There's no Manage DNS button for my domain.** We're not running DNS for it — its nameservers point somewhere else. Make the change at your current DNS provider, or [point the domain's nameservers at us](/whp/how-to/add-a-domain/#point-your-dns-at-us) first.
|
||||
|
||||
**Email stopped working after I edited records.** Restore the original **MX** and SPF/DKIM **TXT** records. If you're not sure what they should be, open a support ticket (see below) and we'll put them back.
