Add DNS records at HostPapa

These are the steps for HostPapa. For what the records do and how to check the setup afterwards, see Subdomain setup.

Datahash tells you which record type to use and gives you the values. Enter the values you were given.

Adding NS records

Section titled “Adding NS records”

  1. Sign in to HostPapa.

  2. Open Manage Domains under My Domains and click Manage beside the domain.

  3. Open the Nameservers section.

  4. Click Use custom nameservers and enter one nameserver value.

  5. Click Update DNS Servers.

You will have been given four nameserver values. Repeat the last two steps until all four records exist. A delegation with one of the four missing looks complete in the Nameservers section and does not resolve.

CNAME records

Section titled “CNAME records”

The published guidance for HostPapa covers NS records only. If Datahash has asked you for a CNAME record, follow the general steps and look for the DNS record editor rather than the nameserver fields above.
