Guides and technical documentation for your Server4You dedicated server or VPS.

DNS Settings

In the Server4You PowerPanel you manage the DNS records of your domains (A, CNAME, MX, NS, SRV, TXT) and the Reverse DNS entries of your server IP addresses. This overview shows both functions and where to find them.

What can you manage here?

DNS stands for Domain Name System — the system that translates domain names into IP addresses, forming the foundation for reachable websites, working emails, and many other services. In the PowerPanel, you can directly manage two areas of DNS configuration:

DNS Records

Define where your domain points, which mail server is responsible, and much more. You can manage records of type A, CNAME, MX, NS, SRV, and TXT.

Manage DNS Records →

Reverse DNS (rDNS)

Assign a hostname to your IP addresses. Especially important for mail servers — without a valid rDNS record, outgoing emails often end up in spam.

Configure Reverse DNS →

How do I access the DNS settings?

All DNS functions are grouped under a single menu item in the PowerPanel:

1.Log in to your PowerPanel
2.Navigate to Network → Nameservers
3.Select your domain to manage DNS records. Reverse DNS is set per IP under Network → IP Management → Details

DNS changes do not take effect immediately. Depending on the TTL value of the record, worldwide propagation can take up to 48 hours. Plan any changes in advance where possible.

Go directly to the PowerPanel

Manage your DNS settings directly through your Server4You PowerPanel.
