DNS records tell the internet where to find your website and email. You only need to edit them for special cases, such as connecting Google Workspace, verifying a service or pointing a subdomain elsewhere.
Before you start: log in to your FariHost Client Area, go to Services → My Services, choose your hosting plan and click Login to Control Panel.
Edit your records
- Open the Domains section and choose Manage DNS.
- Pick the record type you need and fill in the host name and value.
- Click Add (or edit an existing record) and save.
Common record types
- A: points a name to an IP address, e.g. your website.
- CNAME: points one name to another name, e.g. shop.yourdomain.com to an online store.
- MX: decides which server receives your email.
- TXT: used for SPF, DKIM, DMARC and site verification codes.
Careful: changing MX records moves your email to another provider. If you're unsure, ask us before saving.
DNS edits only work when your domain uses our nameservers. Changes normally show within an hour, but can take up to 24 hours.
