What’s the Purpose of DNS Zone Management?
If you’ve registered your domain with Qwords and are using services like hosting or email from MilesWeb, DNS zone management is your go-to tool for directing your domain where it needs to go.
Managing DNS lets you:
- Link your domain to another hosting provider
- Set up business emails, such as Google Workspace or Zoho
- Add verification records like SPF or DKIM
- Enable features like subdomains and third-party tools
Step 1: Log in to Your Qwords Account
- Head over to Qwords website/portal
- Use your registered credentials to get into the dashboard.
Step 2: Choose the Domain to Manage
- From the Dashboard, click on “My Domains.”
- Select the domain you wish to update.
Step 3: Open the DNS Management Tool
- Click on “Kelola DNS” (Manage DNS) or “DNS Management.”
- If you haven’t activated DNS Management yet, make sure to enable it.
