DNS Records

DNS tells the internet where your domain should go.

A record

An A record points a name to an IP address. It is commonly used for apex domains like:

example.com

CNAME record

A CNAME points one hostname to another hostname. It is commonly used for subdomains like:

app.example.com

TXT record

A TXT record proves you own the domain. DockHosting may ask you to add one before routing traffic.

Propagation

DNS changes can take minutes to show up everywhere. If verification fails right after adding records, wait and try again.
