If you&#8217;re using DigitalOcean\u2019s DNS while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/\">hosting with MilesWeb<\/a>, here\u2019s a simple guide to help you manage your DNS zone like a pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Access DigitalOcean\u2019s DNS Management Panel\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First, log into your DigitalOcean account.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then, navigate to the Networking section in the left-hand menu.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Under the Domains tab, click on your registered domain.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Add or Modify DNS Records\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In your domain panel, you\u2019ll see various types of DNS records. You can add, edit, or delete records as needed:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A Record:<\/strong> This directs your domain or subdomain to a specific IP address (like the IP of your MilesWeb server).\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>CNAME Record:<\/strong> This connects a subdomain to another domain (for instance, linking www to yourdomain.com).\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>MX Record: <\/strong>This routes email to your email server (for example, if you\u2019re using MilesWeb&#8217;s email services).\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>TXT Record:<\/strong> Typically used for SPF, DKIM, or domain verification.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>NS Record: <\/strong>This indicates which name servers are responsible for your domain\u2019s DNS (only use this if you\u2019re managing DNS externally).\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to point your A and MX records correctly to your MilesWeb hosting details to keep everything running smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To link your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/domains\/\">domain with MilesWeb<\/a> services, you&#8217;ll need to update the DNS records in your DigitalOcean DNS panel. Here\u2019s how to do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MilesWeb DNS Values (Example):<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nameservers (if you&#8217;re pointing via nameservers):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>ns1.milesweb.com<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ns2.milesweb.in<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ns3.milesweb.co.in<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MX Records (for email):<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>mx1.milesweb.com (Priority: 10)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>mx2.milesweb.com (Priority: 20)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Record (to point your domain):<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to use the IP address from your MilesWeb hosting account, which you can usually find in your welcome email or in the control panel under &#8220;Server Details.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to remove any existing A or MX records in DigitalOcean that might conflict with the MilesWeb values before you add the new ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Save Changes\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Once you\u2019ve added or modified your records:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on Create Record or Update.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It takes up to 24 hours for DNS propagation to take effect.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re ever unsure about which records to change or how to connect your domain with MilesWeb hosting, don\u2019t hesitate to reach out to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.milesweb.in\/contact.php\">support team<\/a>, available 24\/7 to help you out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Managing your DNS records is crucial for steering your domain, sending emails, and verifying your domain.
