DNS is the component of the Internet which converts human-readable domain names (such as bihira.com) into computer-readable IP addresses (such as 66.90.104.122). It does this according to DNS zone files that reside on our servers and tie domain names to IP addresses.
�
There are several different types of records in a domain's zone file. Simple DNS Zone Editor allows you to create and delete A and CNAME records.

Add an A Record
An A record is the DNS record that is responsible for mapping hostnames to IP addresses. The A record is essential because it allows DNS servers to identify and locate your website and its various services on the Internet. Without an A record, your visitors will not be able to access your website, FTP servers, or email accounts.
�
To add an A record:
- Select a domain from the drop-down menu.
- Type in the Name and Address of the A record.
- Click Add A Record.
�
Add a CNAME Record
CNAME record stands for "canonical name record." This record creates an alias, allowing a querying server to continue the DNS lookup under the new name.
�
To add a CNAME record:
- Select a domain from the drop-down menu.
- Type in the Name and CNAME of the CNAME record.
- Click Add CNAME Record.

Delete a Record

To delete an A or CNAME record:
- Click Delete next to the record you wish to remove.
