Separating DNS record
DNS record for Web Hosting
As per the screenshot, the first two records are the DNS record for the web hosting service. Among them, the first one is an ‘A’ type DNS record.
DNS record for Email Service #
As per the screenshot, the last three records are related to email services. All of these records are CNAME records.
You can ignore DNS records related to other services if you need only one specific service.
After adding all these DNS records to your domain manager, please wait a while for DNS propagation. It might take 24-48 hours.
