New packages receive default DNS automatically, but customers migrating existing domains with custom DNS need to add those records first to ensure seamless transitions.

Common Use Case: MX records are the most common custom DNS that may want to be kept following a migration and should be added through the control panel before nameserver changes.

Steps to Add Custom DNS

  1. Access your control panel
  2. Find your package
  3. Select the "Manage DNS" option
  4. Input custom DNS records (referencing your previous host's configuration for accuracy)
