# How to add a record to the DNS Zone in HestiaCP?

If you already have a **DNS Zone** created and need to add a new record, follow these steps:

1. First, go to the **DNS** area.
2. In the domain you want to modify, you will find two ways to add a new record:\
   The icon **a** will allow you to add a new record directly.\
   The icon **b** will allow you to view the **DNS Zone** and create a new record from there.

If you enter from the **a** icon, you will see the following screen, where you can create the new record:

1. In **Record**, write the subdomain you need or you can leave the **@,** which is synonymous with the main domain of the **DNS Zone**.
2. In **Type**, choose the type of record you need (A, MX, TXT, etc).
3. In **IP or value**, you will need to write the IP address or domain where this record will point to.
4. In **Priority**, if the record type allows it, you can define the value. It is usually used in MX records.
5. In **TTL**, you can define the time it will take for the record to check for possible changes in the **DNS Zone**.
6. Once you have configured the record, save the changes with the **Save** button.

If you enter from the **b** icon, you will see the DNS Zone of the domain. From the **Add record** button, you can add the new record.
