Question

It specifically says:

(Do not forget the trailing dots)

But using the new DNS Manager UI, we can’t add trailing dot (see screenshot here: https://imgur.com/3GGVWSd)

Is there any neat trick that I’m not aware of or is it okay this way? Anybody has an idea?

Thanks!

Hello,

I believe that the way that you have it in the screenshot is fine.

Basically if you do not add a trailing dot in the Hostname filed, your domain name would be automatically appended.

Example:

If you put tests in the Hostname filed, your domain would be appended: tests.brainpad.org
If you put tests.brainpad.org in the filed, without a dot at the end, you would get: tests.brainpad.org.brainpad.org
If you put tests.brainpad.org. in the filed, the end result would simply be: tests.brainpad.org

Hope that this makes sense :)
