How to view, add, and modify DNS records for email, website, and domain verification for SSL certificates?

Overview

The Domain Name System (DNS) maps human-friendly domain names to IP addresses and mail servers. If your domain uses ClickHere2 name servers (nsX.clickhere2.com), all DNS record management takes place directly in your hosting control panel.

Accessing the DNS Manager

1. Log in to your ClickHere2 Client Area.

2. Navigate to Services > My Services and view details of the domain's hosting plan.

3. Access your hosting management panel by Log in to Control Panel.

4. In the Manage Service page, find the hosting package and click Manage.

5. Under the Domain Names section, click Manage DNS.

Common DNS Record Types Explained

• A Record (Address): Points your domain or subdomain to an IPv4 address (e.g., pointing yourdomain.com to your server's web server IP).

• CNAME Record (Canonical Name): Aliases one name to another (e.g., pointing www.yourdomain.com to yourdomain.com).

• MX Record (Mail Exchange): Specifies which mail servers are responsible for accepting email sent to your domain.

• TXT Record (Text): Commonly used for verification services (Google Search Console, Microsoft 365) and email authentication standards (SPF, DKIM, and DMARC).

How to Add or Edit a Record

1. In the Manage DNS tool, scroll to the bottom to add a new record, or find the existing record row to edit it.

2. Select the record type from the dropdown menu (e.g., TXT or A).

3. Enter the subdomain prefix (leave blank or use @ for the root domain).

4. Enter the destination IP, hostname, or text string in the value field.

5. Click Update DNS / Add Record to apply the change. Changes usually take effect within 15–60 minutes.
