How to manage DNS records on purchased domain

For domains purchased on Short.io, you can add the following types of DNS records:

TXT - text records which can hold information about a server, network, data center, or other accounting details. These records allow you to verify the ownership of the domain
MX - Mail eXchange records used for routing emails to specified mail servers

Adding DNS records

Select the purchased domain where you want to add DNS records.
From the left side Dashboard menu, navigate to Domain settings and click DNS records:
Click Add record.
In the next dialog you can:
- Type* - select the record type: TXT or MX
- TTL* - specify the Time To Live parameter
- Name - leave the preset @ in this field for the root domain (zone apex) or enter a string of your choice to create records for subdomains/specific services within your domain
- Value* - enter a name for the record. In case of an MX record, you can specify the 'priority' (or preference which server to try first) as a number in the following format:
```
<priority-number> space <name-of-the-mailhost> 
```
  for example, 10 mailhost1.example.com
Click Add to confirm.

The record is added to the domain:

Within roughly 30 minutes, you should be able to validate that the record has propagated correctly using a DNS propagation checker service:

Navigate to Domain settings -> DNS records.
Click next to the DNS record which you want to delete:
When prompted "Are you sure you want to remove this < record-type > record with < name > and < value >?", click Delete:

The record is removed from the list.
