Linux VPS

If you have a VPS service, you can edit your domain’s DNS records in the client area: “Services – DNS manager”. First of all, you have to create zone records for your domain by clicking the “Add new zone” button and specifying the IP address for it. Once the zone is created, you can edit it by clicking the “Edit” button in front of your domain name.

Domain zone management without hosting service

You can also add your domains to the client area: “Services – DNS manager” and edit their DNS records if you do not have any hosting service with us (in this case the domain must be delegated to ns1.fozzy.com/ns2.fozzy.com).

When will the changes be applied?

Wait until the domain name zone is updated. It takes from 15 minutes to 1 hour. If you have previously changed domain DNS servers, it will take up to 24 hours to update information.

We want to make it clear that incorrect DNS settings can disrupt access to the site and mail.
