This guide explains how to modify specific entries, records of type A & AAAA (❓: help), MX (❓: help), TXT (❓: help), etc. in advanced (expert) mode within the DNS zone of a domain registered with Infomaniak.

Prerequisites

• You must have a domain name with Infomaniak or at least a DNS zone.
• Understand:
  • how a domain and a DNS zone work (❓: help) before modifying the latter,
  • that the DNS zone presented here is valid and used only if the name servers are those of Infomaniak (❓: help),
  • that any DNS addition/modification may take up to 48 hours to propagate (❓: help).

2. Click on the desired date to view the changes.
