Services like Google or MailerLite often ask you to add a DNS record. If the domain uses Inleed’s nameservers, you add it yourself.

Right guide?

Before you start

Have the record’s type, name and value from the service ready.
The domain must use Inleed’s nameservers. Otherwise, add the record where the domain’s DNS is handled.

The domain is on a hosting plan at Inleed.

1
Log in to DirectAdmin, open Account Manager › DNS Management and click Add Record.
With several domains, pick the right one first.
2
Choose the type the service gives under Record Type, for example TXT.
3
Enter the name under Name: @ for the domain itself, otherwise only the start, for example www.
Your domain name is already shown after the field.
4
Paste the value from the service under Value.
TTL can stay at 3600.
End a name value, as for a CNAME, with a dot. Otherwise your domain name is added.
5
Click Add.
The record is added to the list.

The domain has no hosting.

1
Log in to the client area and click Manage next to the domain.
The domain’s page opens.
2
Open the DNS / Nameservers tab.
3
Create the zone if it says Create DNS zone: enter your website’s IP address under IPv4 Address and click Save.
The address is used for the domain, www and mail.
4
Choose the type the service gives under Type, for example TXT.
5
Enter the name under Name: @ for the domain itself, otherwise only the start, for example www.
@ changes to your domain name when you leave the field. That’s correct.
Don’t enter the full domain name, or it ends up twice.
6
Paste the value from the service under Points To.
Quotes and the ending dot are added automatically. TTL can stay at 300.
7
Click Add Record.
A confirmation shows, and the record is added to the list.
