Nexcess Domains and DNS Management
The Domains and DNS section of the Managed Applications Portal is the central hub for managing how your WordPress sites and WooCommerce stores are accessed on the internet. This interface provides direct control over your domain configurations and the associated DNS records, allowing you to manage your web presence without leaving the portal.
From here, you can perform essential tasks such as setting the primary domain for a site, editing individual DNS records (like A, CNAME, and MX records for third-party email), and managing the SSL certificates that secure your domains. The integrated tools are designed to streamline the process of pointing a domain to your site and ensuring it is configured correctly.
