Services
The Services section of your account details the various services you have active, and depending on the service, assorted tools to help you manage the service.
You can get to your Services page by clicking on the Services link at the top of the screen.
On the Services screen, you will see various sections depending on the services on your account. You can click on a section to expand it and see detailed information.
Summary
The Summary section details all of the services currently on your account. Certain services that don't have additional tools available, such as Internet connections, will appear here instead of appearing in their own section.
The Email section details all of the email services currently active on the account and provides login buttons to grant you quick access to your inbox for personal accounts.
NOTE: the panel currently does not provide specific controls for Zimbra Base and Premium accounts in the Email section. To manage your Zimbra domain, login to Zimbra Admin with the appropriate administrator account.

Changing any of these settings will automatically update the Cost section, reflecting what the allocated resources will cost you monthly.

Under the hosting section, you can see the various website hosting services currently active on the account.

DNS
The DNS section will show you the DNS you've added for the domains you manage. Domains you have associated with your hosted cloud servers will appear here automatically, but you can further add additional domains if you wish.
Clicking on a domain in the list to the left will show you the current record for that domain.
Add Domain
To add DNS for a domain, you can click on the '+ Add Domain' button

When you're satisfied with what you've entered, click on the 'Create' button.
Edit Domain
With the domain selected on the left hand side, you will be able to click on the 'Edit' button next to the domain name on the right hand side.
This will bring up the 'Edit Zone' window, which looks nearly identical to the New Zone window.
Add New DNS Record
With the domain selected on the left hand side, you can click on the green '+' symbol at the bottom of the DNS section.
This will bring up the New Record window, where you can input the record name, as well as determine what type of record it is.
Choosing the type of record will update the window to bring up fields appropriate to the type of record you're wishing to add.
- A Record
A records allow you to point a hostname to a specific IP address. Clicking on A will bring up an IP Address field, allowing you to point the record to a specific IP address.
- TXT Record
TXT records allow you to specify an arbitrary string of text to be associated with a designated hostname. Clicking on TXT will bring up a Text field, allowing you to specify the text string you want associated with the record.
- AAAA Record
AAAA records are used to associate IPv6 addresses with the designated hostname. Clicking on AAAA will bring up an IPv6 Address field, allowing you to specify the IPv6 address you want associated with the record.
- CNAME Record
CNAME records are used to alias one host name to another (most common example being www.domain.tld to domain.tld). Clicking on CNAME will bring up an Aliased Domain field, allowing you to specify which domain you want the designated hostname to point to.
- SRV Record
SRV records are used to locate specific protocols on a domain.
- NS Record
NS records are used to delegate DNS to the listed name servers. Clicking on NS will bring up a name server field. By default, all DNS will come with name server records populated.
- MX Record
MX records allow you to determine which mail host will control your email. Clicking on MX will bring up Target and Priority fields. The target is the url of the host managing your email (in Xmission's case, our MX record is mx.xmission.com). The priority determines the order in which your mail servers will be processed. A lower priority is always processed first.
Edit/Remove Existing DNS Record
You can edit a DNS record by clicking on the "Edit" button next to the record you wish to edit.
This will change the existing record into editable text boxes you can update. When you are satisfied with your changes, click the blue "Save" button.
A DNS record can be removed by clicking on the red "Delete" button next to the dns record you want to remove. You will be prompted to confirm the deletion before it is removed.
