Managing DNS settings in the Hosting Panel

This article describes how to manage DNS settings for a domain in the hosting.com Hosting Panel.

🚧

Important

This article only applies to domains purchased from hosting.com on or after April 28, 2025 that do not have an associated hosting product. (In other words, a standalone domain, such as one used only for email hosting services.) For more information about the DNS management options available for different domain types, please see Hosting.com DNS management.

To manage DNS settings for your domain, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your hosting.com account at https://my.hosting.com.

2. In the left sidebar, click Products & Services, and then click DNS:

   

3. If you have not created a zone previously for your domain, the Create a new zone dialog appears:

   

   • In the Select a domain list box, select your domain, and then click Create zone.

     📘

     Note

     If you click Create zone and receive a Zone already exists message, then the domain you selected already has a DNS zone on our nameservers. Most likely the domain is associated with a hosting product and is not a standalone domain:

     

4. The DNS Editor tab appears for the domain:

   

   • To edit an existing record in the zone, click Edit, make your changes, and then click Save Changes:

     

   • To add a new record to the zone, click Add New Record, and then click Create:

     

📘

Note

If you receive a It looks like this domain isn't currently pointing to us message, then your domain's nameservers are pointed to another provider. For your DNS changes in the Hosting Panel to take effect, you must update the nameservers for your domain:
