Configuring DNS for a Domain

ApaxonHost as a Slave DNS Server

If you host websites on your account and have a standalone DNS server acting as a primary (master) name server for your sites, you may want to set up the ApaxonHost’s DNS server to function as a secondary (slave) name server.

To make the ApaxonHost’s DNS server act as a secondary name server:

Go to Websites & Domains and click the domain name whose DNS settings you want to manage.

Click DNS Settings.

Click Master/Slave to switch DNS server mode.

Click Add Record.

Specify the IP address of the primary (master) DNS server.

Click OK, and then click Update.

Repeat steps from 2 to 6 for each website that needs to have a secondary name server on your server.

Click DNS Settings.

Click Master/Slave to switch DNS server mode.

The original resource records for the zone will be restored.
