Your Freeparking hosting plan comes with a Premium DNS service that you can access through your Account Dashboard. This page will guide you in configuring your DNS settings.
Managing Your DNS Records
Here's how you can add, edit, and delete a specific record for your domain name.
In the DNS Settings section, find the specific record you want to manage.
Ensure the domain name is connected to the following set of name servers:
- ns.freeparking.co.nz
- ns2.freeparking.co.nz
- Save the changes you made and wait for the DNS to fully resolve on the internet.
IMPORTANT: It will take two to four hours for changes to the Name Servers and DNS records to fully work on the internet. However, some ISPs have their own TTL duration that could override our maximum DNS resolution time. It may cause the changes to take up to 24-48 hours to fully work.
