# DNS Zone Editor

The DNS Zone Editor lets you manage DNS records for your domains directly from PanelAlpha. DNS is powered by Cloudflare, providing fast propagation and global resilience.

## Accessing the DNS Zone Editor

Click **My Hosting** in the top navigation, then select **DNS Zone Editor** from the left sidebar.

If you have multiple domains, use the **DNS Zone** dropdown to select the domain you want to manage.

## Default DNS Records

When a WP Cloud instance is created, the following records are added automatically:

| Name | Type | Value |
| - | - | - |
| `yourdomain.com` | A | First Anycast IP |
| `yourdomain.com` | A | Second Anycast IP |
| `www.yourdomain.com` | CNAME | `yourdomain.com` |

The two A records point to WP Cloud's Anycast IP addresses, providing redundancy and routing visitors to the nearest available server.

## Adding a DNS Record

**1. Open the DNS Zone Editor**

Navigate to **My Hosting → DNS Zone Editor** and select your domain.

**2. Click Add DNS Record**

Click **+ Add DNS Record**.

**3. Enter the Record Details**

Select the record type (A, CNAME, MX, TXT, etc.), enter the name, value, and TTL.

**4. Save**

Save the record. Cloudflare propagates changes quickly — most records resolve within minutes.

## Common Record Types

| Type | Use Case |
| - | - |
| **A** | Point a domain or subdomain to an IP address |
| **CNAME** | Alias one domain to another |
| **MX** | Configure email delivery for the domain |
| **TXT** | SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and domain verification records |

## Editing and Deleting Records

Click the **edit icon** next to any record to modify it, or the **delete icon** to remove it.

> [!WARNING]
>
> Deleting or incorrectly modifying the default A records will take your site offline. Always verify changes before saving, especially on production domains.
