There’re some pretty good free ns services in the web such as famous zoneedit and . But there’s a lot of limits for those free services until I found web-dns.co.uk.
I’m using web-dns.co.uk for lots of my domains as it is ultra fast and unlimited domains support in the past two years. But it is a bit difficult to use web-dns.co.uk as there’s no tutorial about web-dns.co.uk in the web.
Last day I met some issues about set my domain’s MX records in order to have my domain as a mail address. But finally I resolved the problem. So I’m thinking about to write a simple tutorial about using web-dns.co.uk.
First, simply input a available email address and your password to sign up an account in http://www.web-dns.co.uk and login via your email address and password. After that you could add any of your domains in the right side of the online control panel and press enter. Please notice that web-dns.co.uk will accept any characters you input. So please ensure the domains you input are all valid.
After the domain being accept by web-dns.co.uk, you will have most of the ns feature like a paid ns server with your domain, such as A records, MX records, NS and CNAME, etc.
The most simple thing is set/change an A record with your domain. Just input a A record name such as “www” and a valid ip address such as “12.34.56.78″ and press “update” button, an A record is set correctly.  If you want to set a null A record in order to let visitors visit your website via “example.com” instead of “www.example.com”, you just leave the A record name blank and fill the ip address with valid ip.
If you want to have one of your domains as  a mail address, for instance, admin@example.com, your could easily set the MX records in web-dns.co.uk. Please follow what I’m doing in the control panel. First of all, set a A record point to your mail server. For me, I just select “mail.example.com” and point in to the ip address “12.34.56.78″. Then set a MX record, leave the name blank and point to “mail.example.com.”. Be careful it is a MX record but not a A record and there’s a period signal “.” in the end of the adress or you will get failure when you finish setting up your mail address. It’s OK now, you could just configure everthing you need in your remote mail server and using the address “mail.example.com”. If you want to have two familiar name “pop.example.com” and “smtp.example.com” as your receiving/sending name, you could set CNAME records and point “pop” and “smtp” to “mail.example.com.”.
