WEBSITE DNS SETTINGS
To start using your domain with the project example.webnode.com, the DNS (Domain Name Service) servers must be configured correctly. Please follow the steps in this simple guide:
1. Login to the account where you registered your domain and go to the page where you can change your DNS settings. This page is usually called "DNS Management" or "Name server management" (If you can't find the settings contact your domain support desk and ask them to set it up for you).
2. Delete all records of type A and CNAME associated with the "www" name and "files" name (it means for domains www.new-domain.com and files.new-domain.com). Make sure you backup any projects associated with this domain because it may become inaccessible after you make these changes.
3. Create new records of type CNAME according to the information in the table below.
Name | Type | Value |
www | CNAME | example.webnode.com |
files | CNAME | files.example.webnode.com |

DNS SETTINGS FOR E-MAILS
If you have a Webnode Premium service package purchased, you can use Webnode Email services.
The DNS records type MX control how the emails are routed for your domain. You need to setup the MX records correctly before you start to use the Webnode Email service.
Attention: if you are already using email services on your domain, be careful of changing the MX records. Please, consider carefully the consequences of changing MX records!
If you want to set MX records for your domain, follow these instructions:
1. Sign in to your domain's administration interface and navigate to the page with the MX records management. This page is usually called "DNS Management", "Mail Exchange configuration" or "MX settings".
2. Delete all the MX records associated with the domain you've assigned to your Webnode project. Important: Please be sure that you have backed up all existing emails. In the Webnode Email, you will be creating new email accounts.
3. Add the MX records according to the following table. If you are asked to specify the type of each record you’re adding, please select/enter "MX" type.
Name | Type | Priority | Value |
@ | MX | 10 | example.mx1.webnode.com |
@ | MX | 20 | example.mx2.webnode.com |
@ | MX | 30 | example.mx3.webnode.com |
The value for the "Server" field is usually entered including the trailing dot "." at the end (if you are not allowed to enter the value with a trailing dot, please try to enter this value without it).
* In some cases it is possible to leave the field "Name/Record" empty.
** In some cases there is only one field available for the values "Priority" and "Server". In such cases, please enter both values separated with a space in this field.
