Using the Cloud DNS Zone Editor
This article will describe solutions to common issues when using the DNS Zone Editor in our Cloud Control Panel. The domain example.com will be used for examples in this article.
When entering a fully qualified domain name in the DNS Zone Editor, you should always end the domain with a '.' character (i.e., test.example.com.).
Creating Records for the Root Domain
Some DNS software will allow you to use the `@` character as a shortcut to example.com., but for the Cloud DNS Zone Editor, you must specify the entire fully qualified domain name instead (i.e., example.com.).
Creating Records with Spaces
SPF and DMARC records often require spaces to separate entries. For records with spaces, you must enclose the entire record in double quotes.
Incorrect: _dmarc.example.com. 3600 TXT v=DMARC1; rua=mailto:admin@example.com; fo=1; p=none;
Correct: _dmarc.example.com. 3600 TXT "v=DMARC1; rua=mailto:admin@example.com; fo=1; p=none;"
