✅ Please don’t add your email address here to avoid any unwanted issues. After verifying the domain, you can connect your email address.

Please, click on the ‘Next’ button.

Choose faster CDN (optional)

Now, the system will offer you the option to choose a faster CDN for a better web service experience for your users. Please, click on the ‘No, Thank You’ button unless you want a faster CDN for $5/month.

Collect DNS records

Please, wait for a while. The system will provide you with the required DNS records you need to add to your domain registrar.

Separating DNS record

DNS record for Web Hosting

As per the screenshot, the first two records are the DNS record for the WebHosting service. Among them, the first one is an ‘A’ type DNS record.

DNS record for Email Service

As per the screenshot, the last three records are related to email services. All of these records are CNAME records.

💡 You can ignore DNS records related to other services if you need only one specific service.

 

After adding all these DNS records to your domain manager, please wait a while for DNS propagation. It might take 24-48 hours.
