How to set-up correct Z.com DNS records to connect my domain and website?

There are two ways to set up your domain’s DNS records, which control and link to where your website is hosted.

• Nameserver settings
• A record settings

 

 

Nameservers

Nameservers are your domain’s primary DNS record. They control where all of your other DNS records are located. DNS records for your Email and Website are managed at once through nameserver pointing.

This means that if your Website and Email service are purchased from the same provider, please use the Nameserver settings.

If your nameservers are pointed to Z.com, all your DNS are hosted at Z.com cPanel > Domain > Zone Editor.

Z.com’s nameservers:

ns-wh1.web.z.com
ns-wh2.web.z.com

** Please note that the change usually takes up to 48 hours to take effect. So, allow some time for the propagation process to be completed. You may also check the propagation status of your domain/website through any available DNS checker tools online.

A records

Consider managing your domain using A record pointing if your website and Email server are purchased on different providers.

You can manage your domain registration and nameservers at any registrar of your choice and keep your website hosted at Z.com.

If you are managing your domain from an external DNS provider, you may need to check your Server assigned IP address and configure A records pointed to your Z.com server IP address. You may locate your shared Server IP by logging in to your Z.com cPanel

* Shared IP Address under General Information. For example,
