For your domain name and hosting to work, your domain name must be delegated to a name server. A name server contains zone records, which are used to detail the IP address (or the location) of your web or email hosting server.
To change (delegate) the nameservers:
Domain Manager is a hosting service which adds redirection and DNS zone management to your domain registration.
With redirection you can redirect your domain name to any other web address, which allows you to have a more professional image if you update your domain name at a later date or use a domain name for a particular marketing campaign.
If you need advanced zone management, where you host web or mail on another server you will have access to add and modify MX, A, CNAME records.
How do I add Domain Manager to a domain name?
If you have purchased a Domain Manager you will now be able to create and change A, CNAME, and MX records for your domain.
A (for 'address') records are DNS records that point a domain to a static IP address.
CNAME (for 'Canonical Name') are used to map a hostname to another hostname. These can be used in creating subdomains, or directing non-www traffic to the www version of your site.
MX (for 'Mail eXchange') records define the mail exchange server and establish the priority of processing. This is the server responsible for accepting email of behalf of your domain.
