Updating DNS Zone Records

Parallels Pro Control Panel automatically creates a Name Server (NS) record for the zone's name server, and Host (A) records for the FTP server and the domain name (www), but you can modify the information. You can update zone records only if your service provider has enabled the capability in the DNS policy file. If not enabled, the control panel displays a message stating that the policy settings do not allow you to update zone records. Contact your service provider if you want the settings changed.

  1. In the shortcuts section of the Home page , click Zones (DNS section).

  3. Locate the specific record you want to change and in the Actions column, click . The Update form for the specific record opens. For detailed information about specific record fields, see Adding records to a zone.
  4. Complete the fields and click Update.
