Managing DNS Records in the Hosting Control Panel

Last updated on Apr 30, 2025

If your domain is using Eco Web Hosting’s nameservers (ns1.da.hostns.io and ns2.da.hostns.io), you can manage all DNS records directly from your hosting control panel.

This allows you to configure A records, MX entries, CNAMEs, TXT records, and more — essential for connecting services, routing email, or verifying domain ownership.


🔍 How to Access DNS Management

  1. Log in to your Eco Web Hosting client area: https://my.ecowebhosting.co.uk

  2. Click Manage Hosting next to your domain

  3. In the hosting control panel, open DNS Management

  4. You’ll see your domain’s current DNS records, with options to add, edit, or remove them


🧾 Common DNS Record Types

A Record
Points your domain or subdomain to an IP address.
Example:

  • Host: yourdomain.com

  • Type: A

  • Value: 123.123.123.123

CNAME Record
Points a subdomain to another domain (not an IP address).
Example:

  • Host: www

  • Type: CNAME

  • Value: yourdomain.com

MX Record
Directs email delivery. If you're using our email platform:

  • Host: yourdomain.com

  • Type: MX

  • Value: mx.enmail.co

  • Priority: 10

TXT Record
Used for domain verification or email security (SPF/DKIM).
Example SPF record:

  • Host: yourdomain.com

  • Type: TXT

  • Value: v=spf1 include:_spf.enmail.co ~all

AAAA Record
Points to an IPv6 address (optional, advanced).

SRV Record
Used for special services like Microsoft 365 or VOIP (rarely needed).


➕ How to Add or Edit a Record

  1. Click Add Record or Edit next to an existing one

  2. Select the record type (A, CNAME, MX, etc.)

  3. Fill in the host, value, and other required fields
