Plexa Panel comes with a DNS server, which lets you do the following things:
-
Create Nameservers.
-
Create DNS Zone.
-
Delete Zone.
-
Add/Delete Records.
Create Name servers
There is a dedicated page that lets you create Name Servers. If you use this page to create name servers then DNS Zone for this domain will also be created.
This page is a simple utility to create name servers in a user-friendly way. DNS zone for this domain will automatically be created, all you have to do is fill all the fields, example values can be:
-
Domain Name: plexacorp.com
-
First Nameserver: ns1.plexacorp.com
-
IP Address (First NS): Plexa Server IP
-
Second Nameserver: ns2.plexacorp.com
-
IPAddress (Second NS): Plexa Server IP
After creating name servers on your server, you have to create or register glue records.
After adding these records to your domain registrar, you can use the following name servers with all your domains whose DNS is managed by your server.
-
ns1.plexacorp.com
-
ns2.plexacorp.com
Replace these with the one you created.
Create DNS Zone
Before you can use “ADD/MODIFY DNS Records” page you have to create a DNS zone first, this is the first step to start using the DNS server.
Just enter the domain for which you want to control DNS Records on this server.
