Custom A and MX Records
The A record of the domain name specifies the IP address where the domain name resolves to while the MX records of the domain name specify the mail servers that handle the e-mail of the domain name.
|
|
|
|
|
CNAME Records
The CNAME record of the domain name redirects the domain to another domain’s A record and therefore creating a CNAME record removes the A record of the domain.

AAAA/SRV/NS/TXT Records
The advanced features of the web hosting control panel allow you to set up IPv6 related records such as the AAAA record which is used for mapping hostnames to IPv6 addresses.

The NS (Name Server) records of the domain name specify which server handles all the DNS records for this domain name. The SPF e-mail authentication system derives information from the TXT records of the domain name.

EPP Transfer Protection
Some TLDs require this specific EPP transfer authorization key to process domain transfers. This is used in addition or instead of the Registrar Lock for further protection. You can easily obtain the EPP key for your domain names via the web hosting control panel.
|
|
|
|
|
ID Protection
We offer an additional service for all TLDs that support this feature to protect your personal data becoming public in the WHOIS record. That is the best way of protection against spammers and possible identity theft.
