Oxyzer has it’s own nameservers (ns1.oxyserver.it and ns2.oxyserver.it)
Firstly you need to access to your domain mantainer’s administrative website and point your domain nameservers to ours.

After done this step, you have the complete control of your DNS on our control panel, so you can create infinite subdomain and let the system create automatically them for you (example mail.yourserver.tld, webmail.yourserver.tld, txt fields for your main domain and other).

To manage your DNS zones and records, click in the DNS tab.

DNS record Tassonomy:

Record: The record name. (example:record.domain.tld). Use @ for root.
We support the following record types:

A
AAAA
CAA
CNAME
DNSKEY
IPSECKEY
KEY
MX
NS
PTR
SPF
SRV
TLSA
TXT

IP or value: IP or value of the record you want to use.
Priority: Priority of the record. Only used for MX records
TTL: Time to live.
Adjust the default time-to-live. A shorter TTL means faster changes, but results in more requests to the server (then on your cpu quota). If you are going to change the IP, it might be helpful to decrease it to 300 seconds (5 min).
