How to: Manage DNS Zones and Records in SiteWorx¶
From the DNS Records page in SiteWorx, SiteWorx users can add and edit DNS zones and records for the domains on their account.
Descriptions of the different types of DNS zones and their add and edit requirements can be found here.

Note
In order for DNS Records to be accessible within SiteWorx, the SiteWorx account must be granted permission. This can be accomplished by editing the SiteWorx Account Management form for the account in NodeWorx, under SiteWorx > Accounts.
As enabling DNS Record access for the SiteWorx account can only be performed by a system administrator, SiteWorx users who do not see DNS Records listed as an option in SiteWorx should contact their hosting provider.
By default, SiteWorx users do not have the ability to edit their own A records. This is a precaution to reduce the potential risk of SiteWorx users accidentally deleting records that are required for their domains. However, this feature can be enabled by the Server Administrator, if desired.
