Every domain name has a DNS zone which consists of the following records:

* NS - specifies which are the DNS servers for your domain;
* A - specifies IP addresses corresponding to your domain and its subdomains;
* MX - specifies where the emails for your domain should be delivered;
* CNAME - specifies redirects from your domain's subdomains to other domains / subdomains;
* SPF - Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is an attempt to control forged e-mail.

eUKhost's servers are fully compatible with all ICANN and Nominet requirements to set the DNS records accordingly.

How to change my NS record?

If you are a eUKhost customer, you can manage your domain's NS records from your Client Area > My Domains > Manage. Click on Save option once you are done.

Click the Change button, modify the NS records for your domain and then click Update to save the changes. It will take several hours for the DNS change to propagate.

If you are not a eUKhost customer, you should be able to edit your NS records from the control panel at your host/registrar. You will need to contact them if you don't have control panel details.

How to change my A record?

cPanel/WHM:-

WHM > DNS Functions > Edit DNS Zone. Then select the zone. Then you will see the DNS records. Change the A record in there.

How to change my CNAME record?

'CNAME' records - 'CNAME' (canonical name) records are a pointer to another name already in DNS. A CNAME is always relative to the current domain unless it ends with a full stop (.), then it is known as "fully qualified".

cpanel/WHM:-
Login to WHM>> Click on "Edit DNS zone".>> Choose the domain name for which you wish to edit CNAME record
Plesk:-
Login to Plesk> > Domains > DNS settings > Add records
CName records create aliases, sending one subdomain to another. For example, you could forward ftp.example.com to uploads.example.com or something like that.

How to change my SPF record?

The SPF record ensures that remote mail servers will accept mails from your domain only from your server. This is important against spam and email forgery.

For detailed information on SPF records please check:-http://www.eukhost.com/forums/f38/emails-being-bounced-back-but-only-one-particular-domain-9002/

If you have problems with bounced back messages you have not sent, it is useful to create SPF records in this case. You can refer to this post for additional information :- http://www.eukhost.com/forums/f38/em...r-domain-9002/
