id=\"Introduction\"><\/span><strong>Introduction<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The process of controlling DNS settings may seem down-right technical, but it is easier than it sounds. Just consider it as updating the address of your mail, only online. When you purchase a domain with Network Solutions and you would rather point it to a hosting platform or email provider, DNS is what makes that possible. You are merely giving the internet instructions where you want things sent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DNS is something that most people do not consider until email or a web site stops functioning. That is when such words as A records, CNAMEs or MX entries become important. They appear daunting, but once you pick one up it is largely filling in the blanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You just have to know what to click on and what not to touch in the DNS Zone on Network Solutions. Mistakes do occur, but they are not very difficult to correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_DNS_Zone\"><\/span><strong>What is a DNS Zone<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>DNS are simply a collection of settings that instruct the internet on what to do with your domain and Internet instruction manual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The zone contains records, each of which has a particular job. An A record will direct your domain to the IP of a web site. MX records handle email. The rest of the services are kept coordinated by CNAMES, TXT, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These settings do not normally require you to touch them unless you are setting something up or making a change. However, even a single incorrect entry can crash email or shut down your site, and it can be helpful to be familiar with the fundamentals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"max-width:600px; margin:40px auto; padding:30px; background:linear-gradient(135deg, #1f1c2c, #928dab); border-radius:12px; color:white; font-family:'Segoe UI', sans-serif; box-shadow:0 10px 25px rgba(0,0,0,0.4); text-align:center;\">\r\n  <p style=\"font-size:24px; margin-bottom:10px;color:white\">Take Your WordPress Site to New Heights<\/p>\r\n  <p style=\"font-size:16px; margin-bottom:25px;color:silver\">Optimized for WordPress\u2014Get Your Hosting Plan at just $0.99\/month.<\/p>\r\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/arzhost.com\/wordpress-hosting\/\" style=\"display:inline-block; padding:12px 28px; background-color:#ff4081; color:#fff; text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold; border-radius:6px; font-size:16px;\">Click Here<\/a>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-by-Step_Managing_DNS_Zone_on_Network_Solutions\"><\/span><strong>Step-by-Step: Managing DNS Zone on Network Solutions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>DNS management can be viewed as an activity only tech-savvy people perform but when you immerse yourself in it, it is not that tough. Network Solutions has its way of doing things. It&#8217;s a bit old-school, but everything you need is there\u2014you just need to know where to look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Accessing_DNS_Zone\"><\/span><strong>Accessing DNS Zone<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>All right, first things first\u2014log in to your Network Solutions account.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to their website, click the little login icon at the top right, and sign in. There&#8217;s nothing too surprising there.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once you&#8217;re in, look to the left-hand menu and find something called My Domain Names. Click that.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you&#8217;ve got more than one domain, you&#8217;ll see a list. Pick the one you want to work on. If you only have one, you&#8217;ll land right on the details page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now scroll down a little further until you see a section called Advanced Tools. That&#8217;s where you&#8217;ll go next.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Opening_the_DNS_Management_Area\"><\/span><strong>Opening the DNS Management Area<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Alright, now that you are on your domain page, you will want to go to the DNS settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You may find a button such as Manage next to Advance DNS Records, or you can go some distance:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>My Domain Names, then Manage, after that Change Where Domain Points, and then Advanced DNS.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It takes a couple of clicks, but will display your DNS records on a page.

It seems to be at first sight a spreadsheet full of gibberish but upon a second look, it makes sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each row is one record. You have the type of record (A, MX, CNAME, etc.), the hostname and the value it is pointing to and the TTL which is just used to tell the internet how long to wait before it can update whatever changes you made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A Record<\/strong>: This points your domain to an IP address. Super common for websites.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>CNAME:<\/strong> It is a sort of nickname, where the domain is told to use a different name, rather than a straight IP.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>MX Record:<\/strong> These are for email.

Here&#8217;s how you do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>There must be an addition button (such as + Add Record, etc.) on the DNS records page. Click that.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You will be questioned as to what type of record you would like to add. Use the dropdown menu option A, CNAME, MX, TXT etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now, just fill in the fields:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hostname: <\/strong>This typically consists of something like @, www or mail, or it may be a complete subdomain such as verify.example.com.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Value \/ Points To \/ Alias:<\/strong> This is where you&#8217;re pointing it. For a CNAME, this could be something like ghs.googlehosted.com or whatever your provider gives you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>TTL<\/strong>: This simply informs the system of the frequency with which the updates will be checked. The default is typical&#8211;7200 or 14400 seconds (2 or 4 hours).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After filling it out, Add \/ Save, and you are done.

Proceed step by step through records, and keep in mind that DNS changes do not happen overnight: they may take many hours. Take screen shots in case you are in doubt.

After that, there should be an Advanced Tools option or similar, and on this page, you can be displayed the DNS management page where you can make the changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_edit_my_DNS_records_anytime\"><\/span><strong>Can I edit my DNS records anytime?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yep, you can update your DNS records at any time.

This will be based on your TTL (Time to Live) settings as well as any other factors, e.g. the DNS servers of various regions. There is no need to panic because things will not change immediately!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"So_what_is_the_difference_between_an_A_record_and_a_CNAME_record\"><\/span><strong>So what is the difference between an A record and a CNAME record?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A record is used to bind your domain to a certain IP address, and most frequently, this is used to point to your server when accessing your website. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/CNAME_record\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>CNAME<\/strong><\/a>, Instead, is used for an alias, such as directing &#8220;www.yoursite.com&#8221; to yoursite.com. In different ways both do similar jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_have_to_work_with_my_DNS_settings_when_using_a_site_builder\"><\/span><strong>Do I have to work with my DNS settings when using a site builder?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No, most of the time, unless your web designer wants you to confirm your domain or alter where your domain runs. Few builders will guide you through the process such as Wix or Squarespace.
