Configuring the Neural Record Matrix

Every web service requires specific DNS records to function correctly. BoostonCP provides a granular editor for every standard resource record type.

1. Supported Record Types

The BoostonCP core supports the following protocols, each identified by a unique color-coded badge:

  • A - Maps a domain to an IPv4 address.
  • AAAA - Maps a domain to an IPv6 address.
  • CNAME - Creates an alias for another domain name.
  • MX - Directs email traffic to specific mail servers (requires Priority setting).
  • TXT - Used for SPF, DKIM, and site verification strings.

2. Adding & Editing Records

Click "Add Record" to launch the inline configuration form. This form dynamically adapts its fields based on the selected type:

  • Name (Host): Use @ for the root domain or a prefix for subdomains (e.g., www, mail).
  • Value / Target: The destination IP or hostname.
  • Priority/Weight/Port: Automatically appears for MX and SRV records to ensure technical compliance.

3. Real-Time Action Suite

Every record in the grid can be individually managed:

  • Inline Editing: Click the edit icon to modify an existing record without deleting it.
  • Neural Deletion: Permanently remove obsolete records to keep your zone files clean.
SECURITY TIP: When creating CNAME records, ensure you do not create a loop (where two domains point to each other), as this will cause the website to become inaccessible.
