DNS Zone Management — Adding and Editing Records

Every domain in Panelica has a DNS zone where you can manage A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, and NS records directly from the panel.



Accessing DNS Records

From the sidebar, go to DomainsAll Domains. Click on the domain you want to manage, then select the DNS tab.

You will see a table listing all current DNS records with these columns:

  • Type — Record type shown as a colored badge (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS)
  • Name — The record name (@ for root domain, or a subdomain prefix)
  • Content — The record value (IP address, hostname, or text)
  • TTL — Time to live in seconds
  • Priority — Priority value (relevant for MX records)
  • Status — Active or Disabled
  • Actions — Edit and Delete buttons



Adding a DNS Record

Click the Add Record button at the top of the DNS table. A form will appear with these fields:

  • Record Type — Select from: A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS
  • Name — Enter the record name. Use @ for the root domain, or a prefix like mail or blog for subdomains.
  • Content — Enter the value. For A records, this is an IP address. For CNAME, a hostname. For TXT, a text string (e.g., SPF or verification records).
  • TTL — Time to live in seconds. Default is typically 3600 (1 hour).
  • Priority — Only appears for MX records. Lower numbers mean higher priority (e.g., 10 for primary mail server).

Click Add to save the record.



Common DNS Record Examples

Point domain to server (A record):
Code:
Type: A | Name: @ | Content: 123.45.67.89 | TTL: 3600

Point www subdomain (CNAME record):
Code:
Type: CNAME | Name: www | Content: example.com | TTL: 3600

Mail server (MX record):
Code:
Type: MX | Name: @ | Content: mail.example.com | TTL: 3600 | Priority: 10

SPF record for email (TXT record):
Code:
Type: TXT | Name: @ | Content: v=spf1 ip4:123.45.67.89 -all | TTL: 3600

Domain verification (TXT record):
Code:
Type: TXT | Name: @ | Content: google-site-verification=abc123 | TTL: 3600



Editing and Deleting Records

To edit a record, click the Edit button in the Actions column. The same form appears with the current values pre-filled. Make your changes and click Update.

To delete a record, click the Delete button. A confirmation dialog will appear before the record is permanently removed.



Notes

  • DNS changes may take up to 24-48 hours to propagate globally, though most changes are visible within minutes.
  • If your domain uses Cloudflare, manage DNS records through the Cloudflare tab instead — changes sync automatically.
  • Default A records for the domain and www subdomain are created automatically when you add a domain.
