Manage every domain on your Noxity hosting account from cPanel: DNS records, addon domains, subdomains, redirects, and the records email needs to land in inboxes.

​
Point a domain at Noxity

How you connect a domain to your hosting depends on where it’s registered.

​
Domain registered with Noxity

If you have a Noxity hosting plan and the domain is registered with us, the domain auto-attaches to your hosting account. DNS already points at your server. Nothing to do. If you have a Noxity-registered domain but no hosting plan, there’s nothing for it to attach to. Buy a hosting plan and the link is automatic.

​
Domain registered elsewhere

Set your domain’s nameservers to the Noxity pair from your welcome email. Our DNS runs in regional clusters, with names that follow this pattern:
RegionNameserver patternExample
Europe<server>.eu.domainresolver.netbear.eu.domainresolver.net
North America<server>.na.domainresolver.neteagle.na.domainresolver.net
Don’t guess your specific nameservers. Copy the exact pair from your welcome email or the Members Area. Each account is assigned a specific cluster. DNS propagation usually completes within an hour, occasionally up to 24.

What you can do here

DNS Management

Add and edit A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV, and CAA records. SOA defaults are set; you usually don’t touch them.

Domains & Subdomains

Add primary, addon, and parked domains. Create subdomains. The www subdomain is created and aliased automatically.

​
Email records (MailChannels)

Outgoing mail on Noxity hosting routes through MailChannels. For mail from your domain to be accepted by Gmail, Outlook, and other major providers, two records need to be in place on every domain that sends email. SPF record — a TXT record at the root of your domain (@) that includes relay.mailchannels.net. A typical Noxity SPF looks like: 
v=spf1 a mx include:relay.mailchannels.net ~all
If you already have an SPF record, add include:relay.mailchannels.net to it. Don’t create a second one. Multiple SPF records on the same domain make all of them invalid. MailChannels auth record — a TXT record at _mailchannels proving you authorized Noxity’s mail relay. Strongly recommended. 
v=mc1 auth={/* TODO: paste exact MailChannels auth ID for Noxity */}
Without these records, outgoing mail is likely to be rejected or routed to spam. For inbound mail and mailbox setup, see Email Management.

​
Common gotchas

If you proxy your domain through Cloudflare (orange cloud), the standard service subdomains (cpanel.yourdomain.com, webmail.yourdomain.com, ftp.yourdomain.com, webdisk.yourdomain.com) usually won’t connect.Set those four subdomains to DNS only (gray cloud) in Cloudflare. Your main site and www can stay proxied. Just bypass on the service hostnames.
Cloudflare terminates HTTPS at their edge. By default, the connection between Cloudflare and your Noxity server can be unencrypted or use a self-signed cert, depending on your Cloudflare SSL mode.The clean fix is a Cloudflare Origin Certificate installed on your Noxity server.
  • Addon domain. A separate domain that hosts a different site under the same cPanel account. Use this for mybrand2.com next to your main mybrand.com.
  • Parked domain. An alias that shows the same site as your main domain. Use this when mybrand.net should redirect to mybrand.com.
  • Subdomain. A sub-section of an existing domain on this account. blog.mybrand.com, shop.mybrand.com. The www subdomain is created automatically; you don’t need to add it.
When in doubt: subdomain for a section of an existing site, parked for an alias, addon for a separate site.
Almost always missing or wrong SPF, no _mailchannels auth record, or DKIM not enabled. See Email records (MailChannels) above and the Email Management section.
Two reasons. Either the change is still propagating (allow up to 24 hours, though usually under an hour), or your local DNS resolver is caching the old value. Test with dnschecker.org to see the value from public resolvers worldwide. If dnschecker.org shows the new value but your machine doesn’t, flush your local DNS cache.
