DNS Management

Included in all our Hosting plans

How the DNS system works

DNS records allow you to connect to a site by typing the domain name instead of the IP address, making web browsing more intuitive. For example, thanks to this system, you can visit the Xlogic site by typing xlogic.org in the URL instead of entering the IP address.

How can I manage the DNS zone?

If you have a Hosting plan with Xlogic, you can manage your DNS zone (e.g., A records, cname, TXT, MX, etc.) directly from the customer area. If you own your domain with us, you can only manage the Name Servers (NS records) through the control panel.

Frequently Asked Questions

For more information see the FAQ

DNS (Domain Name System) is the system that translates domain names (e.g., www.mysite.it) into IP addresses that can be read by servers (e.g., 192.0.2.1), thus allowing the website and email to function correctly.

You can manage DNS records directly from your customer area

A Record: Links the domain to an IP address.

• CNAME: Alias ​​of another domain name.

• MX Record: Defines the email server.

• TXT Record: Used for SPF, DKIM, Google verification, etc.

• NS Record: Defines the authoritative nameservers.

• AAAA Record: Links the domain to an IP address IPv6.

• SRV Record: Used for specific services such as VoIP or Microsoft 365.

Generally within 1-2 hours, but in some cases it can take up to 24-48 hours to fully spread worldwide.

No, CNAME records can only be used on subdomains (e.g. www.mysite.it), not on the main domain (e.g. mysite.it), which requires an A or AAAA record.

You can do this by setting up an A record pointing to the new site’s IP address or, if you want a real redirect, by setting up an HTTP 301 redirect through your hosting.

• MX Record: Points to the email server.

• SPF: TXT record to authorize servers that can send emails.

• DKIM: Public key for signing emails.

• DMARC: Mail security policy.

These records are enabled by default on all Xlogic servers.

The site or email may stop working. It’s always a good idea to backup before making any changes, and if you’re unsure, contact technical support.
