Together with each High Availability Dedicated Server we offer free management of one DNS Zone. In order to use it, it is first needed to change the existing nameservers of your domain, from your domain registar, and set them to ns1.massivegrid.info and ns2.massivegrid.info . Then you will be able to manage all the DNS Records of that domain directly from your Secure Customer Portal.

Below you will find detailed instructions in order to create and manage your free DNS zone.
