DNS converts domain names to IP addresses to make your site actually visible to your visitors. When the records are right, all goes well. Otherwise, your site may not open or your e-mail may not work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Records such as A, CNAME, MX and TXT are easily managed through the dashboard of WordPress.com. Each of these has its purpose&#8211;to direct your domain to the correct server, to send mail, or to confirm ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding how these work allows you to take control of the functionality of your domain and allows you to prevent future problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_DNS_Zone_What_it_is_How_It_Works_in_Record_Management\"><\/span><strong>What is a DNS Zone: What it is &amp; How It Works in Record Management<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A DNS zone is the address book of the internet.It carries the records determining where your web site loads, where emails are delivered, and other services attach themselves to your domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You do not have to be an expert to do it, but a little knowledge of the fundamentals will help a great deal in configuring email, connecting services such as Google, or ensuring that your site loads properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Access_the_DNS_Zone_on_WordPresscom\"><\/span><strong>How to Access the DNS Zone on WordPress.com<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To get the DNS settings to your domain on WordPress.com, follow the steps below: no technical explanation is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Login: <\/strong>You have to have to login normally. Nothing fancy, it is the usual dashboard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Go to Domains.<\/strong><strong> <\/strong>After that, in the menu on the left and just click through:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>My Site \u2192 Manage \u2192 Domains. Here you will see a list of all the domains that relate to your account. In case you have more than one, then you can simply choose the one you are interested in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Select your domain:<\/strong> Select the domain name you would like to administer. This creates the possibilities of that particular one.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Go to DNS Records: <\/strong>You will find an option that reads: DNS Records- click it. This will display you all the existing DNS records on that domain, such as where your web site points and where emails redirect.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Manage button:<\/strong> To edit something, locate the Manage button and then click. Here, you can add new records, modify old ones or delete the unnecessary ones which are no more required.This section essentially provides you with control over the DNS zone of your domain, all in one place within WordPress.com. It is where you manage the records.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Add_DNS_Records_on_WordPresscom\"><\/span><strong>How to Add DNS Records on WordPress.com<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You are likely to have to add some DNS records on WordPress.com at some point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an example, when configuring Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, they will frequently request you to place a TXT or CNAME record to demonstrate ownership. MX records are used to ensure that your emails get their destination. To direct your domain or subdomains to the appropriate server, you use a or CNAME records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to the Domains section. Select the domain to which you want to work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on DNS records.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click &#8216;Add a record. At the top-right, there is a button that reads Add a record&#8211;Click that to begin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the record type you are adding. Choose the type of record required by the dropdown menu.<br>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You will have a choice of A, AAAA, ALIAS, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV and NS. When you are unsure which to use, it is normally stated in the guidelines of the connecting service.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fill out the fields. You can now simply input the information you have.<br>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Typically there is a name\/host field and a value. In some cases the terms are a bit different, e.g., in place of points to it may simply say value. Simply copy the information in the best way possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The TTL can be set when needed. TTL is the &#8220;Time to Live,&#8221; and the duration that the record will be held in cache.<br>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>There is generally no need to change the default unless you feel like it, and then just keep in mind that it is in seconds (3600 = 1 hour, etc).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When it all looks good, click Save. That&#8217;s it.

However, whatever the motive, it is not that difficult to edit records of DNS on WordPress.com once the location is known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s how you can do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Get to Domains.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the domain of your choice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Press Manage in response to the click on DNS records.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the DNS Record you want to edit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select Edit from the menu.

Anyway, one can always clean out unused or invalid DNS entries and get things running well and prevent the odd conflicts that could cause havoc to your web site or email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To properly remove a DNS record on WordPress.com here are the steps to do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to the Domains section.

On the right hand side of the record there are three dots (yup, the little ellipsis button) so, click them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose Delete from the menu. A dropdown will show up. Hit Delete.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You will be asked a quick response on whether you are sure. You can check it off and make sure you know that you do not need the record any longer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You should be very careful when deleting DNS records.

You need to know how to work around the DNS settings whether you are adding a new email service, connecting your site to some other tool like Google, or simply correcting an old record that is no longer necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact that WordPress.com makes the process rather manageable is the good news. You do not have to be highly technical in order to get things done. You will be fine as long as you can identify what to click and double-check the information you are typing. And by the way, when you do end up messing something up, most of it can be fixed, but it may simply take some time to complete the update.It is better to maintain accurate DNS records to prevent irritating problems in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your site remains online, your mail gets where it should and you can control more of how your domain acts. It is one of those little bits that quietly make your entire online configuration run as it is intended to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tired of endless web hosting problems and ever-climbing costs?

Others do not even bother to check the TTL settings, which can take time. In addition, ensure that your nameservers literally point to WordPress.com, or the changes will not even be applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_can_I_do_to_secure_my_DNS_settings\"><\/span><strong>What can I do to secure my DNS settings?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Use a good password and go two-factor login (where possible). Keep only a limited number of users, and review your records periodically to ensure that they are not altered behind your back. Where possible, DNSSEC should be enabled as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_anything_of_this_be_automated\"><\/span><strong>Can anything of this be automated?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The DNS tools of WordPress.com are manual and simple. They are not fully automated. However, you can check using external applications such as Whatsmydns.net to find out whether the changes are in place and there are also some SEO plug-ins that assist with some related tasks such as redirects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_do_I_do_to_troubleshoot_DNS_on_WordPresscom\"><\/span><strong>What do I do to troubleshoot DNS on WordPress.com?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing is to ensure that your domain nameservers are configured to WordPress.com. Next, make sure you check your records to remove typing errors or incorrect values. Check tools such as nslookup or Whatsmydns to determine whether changes have propagated. In case things remain wrong, restart to default DNS or call support. And do not forget that updates may require some time to appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_will_it_do_when_I_delete_the_incorrect_DNS_record\"><\/span><strong>What will it do when I delete the incorrect DNS record?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it is a critical one, something may break, such as your site crashing or failing to receive an email. One should always check twice before deleting. In case you make an error, you can recreate default records or add them back in manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_duration_of_DNS_changes_coming_into_effect\"><\/span><strong>What is the duration of DNS changes coming into effect?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At times, it may be rapid&#8211;within minutes&#8211;but may take as long as 48 hours.
