What is DNS Administration?
The DNS management in konsoleH lets you set the basic DNS settings for your domain.
You can make a more detailed configuration in the DNS Panel. To ensure that konsoleH still has access to your zone files,
for example to set DNS records for the authentication of SSL certificates, please check the box "Allow DNS access for

A and AAAA records
A and AAAA records are responsible for resolving your domain to the relevant IP for your managed server. You can find both the A and AAAA records on konsoleH by going to Details > Hosting Server. Please check that you have correctly set the A and AAAA records so that your domain will be reachable via both IPv4 and IPv6.
; A records
@ IN A <IPv4 for the hosting server>
www IN A <IPv4 for the hosting server>
; AAAA records
@ IN AAAA <IPv6 for the hosting server>
www IN AAAA <IPv6 for the hosting server>MX
The MX record is responsible for delivering and sending your mails and should always point to the relevant mail server. If you would like to send mails via our server, then the MX record needs to point to your hosting server's name.
; MX records
@ IN MX 10 <server name>.your-server.de.Important note: Please make sure that the target domain has a "." after the top-level-domain at the end.
CNAME
A CNAME is a DNS entry that is used to create an alias connection from one domain name to another one. Like the MX record, the CNAME record points to a domain that already exists. This is a good thing because it means that you do not need to enter IP addresses and other records twice. However, the CNAME is not a redirect. By default, this CNAME record is already configured for web hosting and managed server customers. It must be set like this if you want to use our mail system.
; CNAME records
autoconfig IN CNAME mail.your-server.de.Important note: Please make sure that the target domain has a "." after the top-level-domain at the end.
Reset zone file
This function restores your DNS records to the original state of the default zone. All manual changes will be lost.
Deactivate / Activate Zone
This function allows you to enable/disable the zone for your selected domain. A disabled zone will remain on our servers, but will no longer be propagated by our name servers.
Delete zone file
This function removes the zone for your domain from our name servers.
