DNS Management ​

This guide explains how to manage DNS records for your registered subdomains using the dashboard's DNS → Manage DNS interface.


Overview ​

Use the DNS management UI to add, edit, and remove DNS records for your subdomain. Typical record types include A, CNAME, TXT, MX, and SRV.

Steps — Manage DNS via Dashboard ​

  1. Log in with GitHub and open My Domains.
  2. Click the domain/subdomain you want to manage.
  3. Choose DNS → Manage DNS.

  1. Click Add Record and choose the record type.
    • A: Points a name to an IPv4 address (e.g., @ -> 203.0.113.1).
    • CNAME: Points a name to another name (e.g., www -> example.com.).
    • TXT: Add verification or other text records (e.g., for SPF, domain verification).
  2. Enter the Name, Value, TTL (use default if unsure), and save.

Examples ​

  • Add an A record for project.isroot.in pointing to 203.0.113.1.
  • Add a CNAME for www.project.isroot.in pointing to project.isroot.in.
  • Add a TXT record for domain verification (e.g., google-site-verification).

Propagation & Verification ​

  • DNS changes can take minutes to propagate but may take up to 24–48 hours depending on TTL and caching.
  • Verify changes using dig or nslookup:
    • dig A project.isroot.in or dig CNAME www.project.isroot.in.

Cloudflare notes ​

  • We are not available in PSL yet, so you’ll need to wait to be onboarded to Cloudflare.

Troubleshooting ​

  • Record not appearing? Clear DNS cache or wait for TTL to expire.
  • Wrong IP or CNAME? Double-check record values and trailing dots for CNAMEs when required.
  • Nameserver mismatch? Ensure your DNS provider's nameservers are set correctly at your registrar or in the domain settings.
