When you register domain names with UK-Cheapest.co.uk, we give you full control over the management of your domain DNS records.

With our advanced web based DNS Manager, you can configure your domain names to function with any hosting provider or server of your choice.

We provide the DNS Manager web interface at no additional cost with every domain name. There are no future or annual costs for this service whatsoever. Period.

Modify your domain DNS records to associate your domain with your blog or externally hosted website. Your host will provide you with comprehensive details showing how to set your domain DNS to connect to their servers.

DNS Manager Interface - in action!Which DNS records can be changed?

You can freely add or delete all A, MX, TXT (SPF) and CNAME records for your domain. The records are added in realtime, there is no delay to your record changes being submitted to the server.

All DNS changes are subject to a propagation delay – this is the time it takes for the new records to be recognised by the global internet name servers.

What is the cost for this DNS service?

The DNS Manager feature is provided at no additional cost with all domain names. This is a totally all inclusive DNS service. Unlimited changes, unlimited records, absolutely no costs.

How is PHP setup in your servers?

We have phpSuExec configured in our servers. As such, PHP is setup as FastCGI instead of an Apache module. This offers users security to the way PHP is used in a shared hosting environment.

Where do I go to check my emails using my browser?

Go to:

webmail.yourdomain.com

This will give you full access to your email via any web browser using the AtMail Webmail application which is installed for all web hosting accounts.

What do I put for both incoming and outgoing mail server?

For both incoming and outgoing mail server put mail.yourdomain.com Some ISP’s do not keep port 587 open which is required if you enter mail.yourdomain.com for your outgoing mail server.

Many ISP’s require you to use their outgoing mail server. We recommend that you contact your ISP and ask them what you should enter in the space provided for the outgoing mail server.
