How to set up my domain A, CNAME or MX record?

To set up your domain records, you will need to first purchase Direct DNS Pro for your domain, and then follow these steps:

1) Log into your account.
2) Click on the "Domain Manager" tab, and then on the house icon under Options.
3) Choose the record type and enter the Host Name and the Destination IP address.
4) Click on the "Create Record" link and your new record setup will be complete. It then takes about 15 minutes for the record setup to be active.

Please note that you need two default records for both your A and MX records. For example:

A: mydomain.com 12.122.23.24
*.mydomain.com 12.122.23.24

MX: mydomain.com 12.122.23.25
*.mydomain.com 12.122.23.25
