Atomia will also recognize if the end user wants to edit the DNS record, for example a www subdomain. This will cause one or more services to malfunction, and a notification is sent to the end user.
Excluding DNS record types
Any of DNS record types can be excluded from being shown in the dropdown list by setting comma-separated values for plugin setting ExcludeDNSTypes in C:Program Files (x86)AtomiaHostingControlPanelbinAtomia.Web.Plugin.Domains.dll.config
By deleting DNS record type from the list it stops being excluded and it’s shown in the list of types.
Example:
<pluginSetting name="ExcludeDNSTypes" value="ALIAS" />;
By default, ALIAS records are excluded from being shown on Atomia User Panel. For more information on how to enable ALIAS records type in DNS visit Atomia DNS FAQ.
