How to configure my domain DNS records
Learn to manage your domain DNS records from the control panel to point your domain to the correct server.
What are DNS records?
DNS (Domain Name System) is like the phone book of the Internet. DNS records indicate where your website is hosted, where emails are sent and other services associated with your domain.
A Record:
Points the domain to an IP address (for web)
MX Record:
Indicates where emails should be delivered
CNAME Record:
Creates an alias from one domain to another
TXT Record:
For verifications and special configurations (SPF, DKIM, etc.)
Access to the control panel
To manage your domain DNS records, you need to access the Intergrid control panel:
Select your domain
Al menú principal, ves a la secció Dominis i selecciona el domini que vols configurar.
Manage DNS records
Cerca l'opció Gestió DNS o Registres DNS per accedir a la configuració.
Most common DNS configurations
Point the domain to your hosting
To make your website work with your contracted hosting:
- Create or modify the A record with the name '@' or leave it blank
- Enter your server IP address (you will find it in the control panel)
- If you want www.domain.cat to also work, create an A record with name 'www' and the same IP
Configure email
To receive emails on your domain with Intergrid service:
- Create or modify MX records pointing to Intergrid mail servers
- You will find the correct values in the control panel or service documentation
- It is recommended to add SPF and DKIM records to improve deliverability
Create subdomains
To create a subdomain like blog.domain.cat:
- Create an A record with the subdomain name (for example, 'blog')
- Enter the IP address where you want it to point
- Or create a CNAME record if you want it to point to another domain
Important notes
Changes in DNS records can take between 1 and 48 hours to propagate across the Internet. Normally, changes are visible in a few hours, but be patient.
Before modifying DNS records, note down the current values. This way you can recover the configuration if something does not work correctly.
