Our control pages let you manage the DNS for your domains.
There are various type of DNS records that you can add
- A (IP address)
- A+reverse
- CNAME
- DNAME
- MX 10
- MX 20
- MX 30
- MX 40
- MX 50
- AAAA (IP6)
- AAAA+reverse
- PTR
- LOC
- FTP password
- NS (Name server)
- TXT
- SRV
- IAX2
- H.323
- SIP
- DS
The A and AAAA reverse types are a special case, we use these to create PTR records automatically
The FTP Password is nothing to do with DNS, instead it sets the password on the domain if we are providing web services.
