DNS Management — Manage Zones and Records on EasyCloudify™
TL;DR — EasyCloudify™ DNS Management gives you a full interface to add, update, and manage DNS zones and records for your domains from the dashboard at
/cloudpanel/domains.
What is EasyCloudify™ DNS Management?
EasyCloudify™ DNS Management is the domain name system control panel built into your dashboard, allowing you to configure and manage DNS zones and individual DNS records (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, etc.) for any domain registered or pointed to EasyCloudify™'s global network. Access it at /cloudpanel/domains.
Before You Start
- Your domain's nameservers are pointed to EasyCloudify™ (or you are adding a new zone)
How to Access DNS Management
In the sidebar, click Domains. You land on /cloudpanel/domains, which loads the DNS Management interface (the ZonesNew component).
Managing DNS Zones
A DNS zone represents a domain (e.g., example.com). The DNS Management interface lets you:
- Add a new zone — Enter your domain name to create a new DNS zone
- View existing zones — See all zones associated with your account
- Delete a zone — Remove a zone when a domain is no longer managed through EasyCloudify™
Managing DNS Records
Within each zone, you can add and manage individual DNS records:
| Record Type | Use Case |
|---|---|
| A | Point domain to an IPv4 address |
| AAAA | Point domain to an IPv6 address |
| CNAME | Alias one domain to another |
| MX | Route email to a mail server |
| TXT | Verify domain ownership, SPF, DKIM |
| NS | Delegate a subdomain to another nameserver |
For each record:
- Select the record type
- Enter the name (subdomain or
@for root) - Enter the value (IP address, target domain, or text value)
- Set the TTL (time-to-live in seconds)
- Save the record
DNS Propagation
After adding or modifying DNS records, changes propagate globally within the TTL you set. Typical propagation is 1–5 minutes for low TTL values.
💡 Tip: Use a low TTL (like 300 seconds / 5 minutes) when making changes you might need to revert quickly. Increase the TTL to 3600 seconds for stable, long-standing records.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I point my domain to my EasyCloudify™ server?
Add an A record with your domain or subdomain and set the value to your server's IPv4 address. Find your server's IP on the Server Detail page.
How long does a DNS change take to propagate?
With a TTL of 300 seconds, most DNS resolvers will pick up the change within 5–10 minutes. Full global propagation can take up to 48 hours for high-TTL records.
