WeldSuite Help

Add, edit, and delete DNS records for a domain that is already connected in WeldHost.

Before you start

Your domain must be connected with nameservers pointing at WeldHost before records appear and can be edited. See the WeldHost overview if the DNS tab is not ready yet.

Open the DNS tab

Open WeldHost in WeldSuite.
Go to Domains.
Select the domain you want to configure.
Open the DNS tab.

Navigate to the DNS tab for a domain — Open Domains, pick your domain, then switch to the DNS tab.

You see a table of records (type, name, content, TTL) plus search and type filters.

Add a record

Click Add Record (or New record).
Choose a Type.
Enter the Name — use @ for the main address of your domain (for example example.com), or a prefix such as www or mail.
Enter the Value (IP address, hostname, or text, depending on the type).
Set TTL if you need something other than the default. Leave it empty when you want the platform default.
For MX or SRV records, set Priority.
Save the record.

Add a new DNS record form — Fill in the type, name, and value your service provider gave you, then save.

Tip

If you're not sure what to enter, check the instructions from your website host, email provider, or verification service — they usually tell you the exact type, name, and value to use.

Supported record types

WeldHost lets you create these types from the DNS tab:

Type	Typical use
A	Point a name at an IPv4 address
AAAA	Point a name at an IPv6 address
CNAME	Alias a name to another hostname
MX	Mail servers for the domain (includes priority)
TXT	Verification strings, SPF, and other text
NS	Delegate a subdomain to other nameservers
SRV	Service discovery (includes priority)
CAA	Restrict which certificate authorities may issue certificates

DNS record type selector — Choose the record type that matches what your provider asked for.

Edit or delete a record

Edit — use the pencil action on the row, change the fields, and save.
Delete — use the trash action, then confirm. The confirm dialog shows the type and name of the record you are removing.

Unlocked records can be changed freely. If edit and delete are disabled, the record is locked (see below).

Locked records

Some records are managed by WeldSuite for other apps — for example WeldMail mail settings. Those rows show a lock badge.

You cannot edit or delete locked records in the DNS tab.
To change mail-related DNS, use the WeldMail / email domain flow rather than editing those rows by hand.

Locked DNS record with lock badge — Locked records are managed automatically — use the relevant app settings instead.

Find records

Use the search box to match on name or content.
Use the type filter chips to show only certain record types (or All).
Use the lock filter to show locked or unlocked records only.

If nothing matches, clear filters or broaden the search.

Examples

These examples use example.com. Replace with your domain. Values are illustrative — use the IPs or hostnames your service gives you.

Main website address (A record)

Field	Value
Type	A
Name	`@`
Value	`203.0.113.10`
TTL	`3600`

www address (CNAME)

Field	Value
Type	CNAME
Name	`www`
Value	`example.com`
TTL	`3600`

Verification (TXT)

Field	Value
Type	TXT
Name	`@` (or the host your provider specifies)
Value	`verification-token=…`
TTL	`3600`

After you save, allow a short time for DNS to update. Most changes are visible quickly once the domain is active in WeldHost.
