Managing Your DNS With Media Giant Hosting's Tools

So, your domain is pointed at our nameservers—good job! That means you can manage your DNS directly through our control panel. Here’s how you do it without breaking your website (hopefully).

Accessing the DNS Manager

 1. Log in to your Media Giant Hosting account.

 2. Go to My Services.

 3. Choose the hosting plan associated with your domain.

 4. Click the DNS Settings icon. This will take you to the DNS Manager.

 5. Select the domain you want to manage.

Creating or Editing DNS Records

Once you’re in the DNS Manager, you have two options:

Editing an Existing Record

• Find the record you need to update.

• Click the pencil icon next to it.

• Modify the details as needed (IP address, hostname, etc.).

• Click Save to apply your changes.

Creating a New Record

• Click the blue "Create New Record" button.

• Fill out the form with the required details:

  • Record Type (A, CNAME, MX, TXT, etc.)

  • Name/Host (e.g., www or mail)

  • Value/Target (e.g., an IP address or another domain)

• Click Save to create the record.

DNS Updates & Propagation Time

Our name servers update in real-time, meaning your changes take effect immediately on our end. However, the rest of the internet might take up to 48 hours to reflect those changes. This is called DNS propagation, and it’s not something we can control—it’s just how the internet works.

Final Thoughts

Managing DNS is easy when you know what you're doing. If you're just changing an A record or adding an MX record for email, it’s a quick process. Just remember that bad DNS changes can break your website or email, so double-check before saving.
