If you get lost, it’s easy to start from scratch
Managing DNS can be a complex business. If you are new to DNS management, you may be trying a little ‘trial and error’. That’s ok. But, if your DNS Zone becomes “invalid” then you can reset it to defaults.
- Navigate to the Domain DNS Manager
- Find the DNS Operations list box
- Select Reset to Original Defaults
- Press Apply
Your DNS is now set as per the original defaults for a new domain. Any DNS record changes can take up to 24 hours to fully propagate across the global internet so do not expect instant results in your web browser.
