Our control pages let you manage the DNS for your domains.

==A+Reverse, AAAA+Reverse==

The A and AAAA reverse types are a special case, we use these to create PTR records automatically

==LOC / Location==

The Size, Horizontal Precision, and Vertical Precision fields are expressed as a number from 0-9 and then 0-9 zeros.

For example, 30 is valid, but 25 is not. The acceptable values are:

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 etc

==Long txt Records (over 256 Characters)==

txt records are a max of 255 characters in DNS. If you need to have longer than 255 characters, then on the control page you can quote separate sections, for example:

txt records are a max of 255 characters in DNS. If you need to have longer than 255 characters, then on the control page you can quote separate sections so that each quotes section is less than 256 characters long, for example:

Value: "long part 1.....200 characters..." "long part 2..... 200 characters..." "long part 3..... 200 characters..."

Value: "part1" "part2" "part3"

This is useful for long txt records, such as DKIM data, for example:

~~e.g.~~ [[File:Dns-txt.png]]

[[File:Dns-txt.png]]

You can include a quote with: \"

You can test your SRV record using 'dig' or 'nslookup' on the command line, e.g.:

$ dig +short srv _sip._udp.pbx.example.com

$ nslookup -type=srv _sip._udp.pbx.example.com

Sometimes you may have an error if you try adding a record that is longer than 256 characters.

In this case, split your record in to smaller sections and quote them inside speech marks.
