DNS Manager
DNS Manager
Manage DNS records for your domains without leaving FlyWP.
The DNS Manager lets you create, edit, and delete DNS records for domains connected through your DNS provider integrations. Instead of switching between provider dashboards, you can manage everything from a single interface inside FlyWP.
Supported Providers
| Provider | Features |
|---|---|
| Cloudflare | Full record management, proxy toggle (orange/gray cloud) for A, AAAA, and CNAME records |
| AWS Route 53 | Full record management, hosted zone support |
Connect your DNS provider through Team Integrations before using the DNS Manager.
Navigating the DNS Manager
Integrations View
The top-level view shows all connected DNS integrations. If you have multiple Cloudflare accounts or Route 53 configurations, select the one you want to manage.
Domains (Zones)
After selecting an integration, you see all domains (zones) under that account. Click a domain to view and manage its DNS records.
Records List
The records table displays every DNS entry for the selected domain:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Type | Record type (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV) |
| Name | Hostname or subdomain |
| Content | Record value (IP address, hostname, or text) |
| TTL | Time to Live in seconds (1—86400, default 300) |
| Proxy | Cloudflare only — whether traffic is proxied through Cloudflare |
Supported Record Types
| Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| A | Maps a domain to an IPv4 address |
| AAAA | Maps a domain to an IPv6 address |
| CNAME | Aliases one hostname to another |
| MX | Directs email to a mail server (includes priority) |
| TXT | Stores text data for verification, SPF, DKIM, etc. |
| SRV | Defines service locations with priority, weight, and port |
Managing Records
Adding a Record
- Click Add Record on the records page.
- Select the record type.
- Enter the name (use
@for the root domain). - Enter the content (value).
- Set the TTL (default is 300 seconds).
- For Cloudflare A/AAAA/CNAME records, toggle the proxy setting.
- Click Save.
Editing a Record
Click Edit next to any record, update the fields, and click Save.
Deleting a Record
Click Delete next to the record and confirm.
Deleting A, CNAME, or MX records can immediately make your site or email unreachable. Verify before removing any critical records.
Provider-Specific Notes
Cloudflare
- The proxy toggle controls whether traffic passes through Cloudflare’s network (orange cloud) or goes directly to your server (gray cloud). Proxied records hide your server’s real IP address.
- Proxying is only available for A, AAAA, and CNAME records.
AWS Route 53
- TTL is optional — if omitted, Route 53 uses its default.
- Records are managed within hosted zones that correspond to your domains.
