General Information About DNS Settings

DNS (Domain Name System) is a critical component of internet communication, translating domain names into IP addresses. Proper DNS settings ensure that your website and email are accessible via the correct IP addresses.

Nameserver Setup

To configure DNS settings for your domain:

  1. Shared Hosting: Use the nameservers provided by Epycbyte.com.
  2. Reseller Hosting: Configure the nameservers according to your reseller plan.

Using Default vs Hosting Nameservers

  • Default Nameservers: Used when you haven't configured specific ones.
  • Hosting Nameservers: Configured via your control panel for better management.

Managing Addon Domains Without Changing DNS

Addons can be managed without altering DNS settings by using:

  • Subdomains
  • Parked domains
  • Alias domains

Transferring Domains to Epycbyte.com

To transfer a domain:

  1. Unlock the domain at your current registrar.
  2. Obtain EPP/RAA codes.
  3. Submit transfer request via Epycbyte.com's control panel.

Checking Website Content Before DNS Changes

Before switching DNS:

  • Backup website content.
  • Test changes on a staging site.
  • Ensure all subdomains point correctly.

Common DNS Records Explained

  • A Record: Maps domain name to IP address.
  • MX Record: Specifies mail server for email hosting.
  • CNAME Record: Points domain name to another domain name.
  • TXT Record: Used for SPF, DKIM, and other security purposes.

Best Practices for DNS Configuration

  1. Always backup your DNS settings before making changes.
  2. Test DNS changes on a small subset of users first.
  3. Monitor DNS performance after changes.
  4. Use TTL (Time To Live) wisely to balance caching and updates.

Troubleshooting DNS Issues

If you encounter issues with DNS resolution:

  1. Check that domain nameservers are correctly configured.
  2. Verify that all DNS records are properly set up.
  3. Clear cache or restart DNS resolver if necessary.
  4. Contact Epycbyte.com support for further assistance.
