DNS Records

Closte support following DNS record types:

• • A
  • AAAA
  • CNAME
  • MX
  • PTR
  • SRV
  • TXT
  • CAA.

A DNS record always has 3 parameters, that is a hostname, TTL and value/s. After any DNS record change, you may need to wait a few hours for the DNS propagation.

Go to DNS->DNS Zone page and click on the Add Record or edit button on some existing record. In the examples section below, you can also find how to add any DNS record that our system warns you.

Some services may ask you to add ‘@’ character as a hostname known as naked domain hostname but in our system adding a record with ‘@’ or empty hostname is the same use case.

Time-to-live is an optional field with 14400 seconds (4 hours) as the default value.

1. Duplicate or invalid value: Either you are trying to add DNS record that already exists or the value/s are not the right formats.
2. Adding a very long value: This usually happens, for example when you are trying to add DKIM validation record with a very long value, more than 255 characters, that need to be split into multiple smaller than 255 characters strings.
