DNS (Domain Name System) is the component of the Internet that converts human-readable domain names (e.g. example.com) into computer-readable IP addresses (e.g. 192.0.32.10). DNS uses zone files that reside on your server to map domain names to IP addresses.
To be able to edit records in your DNS zone at the registrar, you will need to point your domain to the registrar’s nameservers. Use the following guide to learn how to configure your domain’s DNS records.
