These settings control how your domains are configured on the server and direct traffic for services like your website and email. The **Domains** section in SiteWorx is used to control the domains associated with your hosting account. Common tasks include adding secondary domains to host additional websites, creating **subdomains** like `shop.yourdomain.com`, and setting up **pointer domains** to redirect one domain to another. The **DNS Records** section gives you direct control over your domain’s zone file. This allows you to connect your domain to third-party services or customize your mail routing. You can manage all common record types, including **A records** to point your domain to an IP address, **CNAME records** to alias a subdomain to another service, **MX records** to designate mail servers, and **TXT records** for verification or security policies like SPF. The articles in this guide explain how to perform common domain and DNS management tasks within SiteWorx. - ## [Creating a Sub-domain in Interworx Web Panel](https://docs.nexcess.com/hosting/control-panel/interworx/siteworx/website-management/creating-a-sub-domain-in-interworx-web-panel/) To create a subdomain like “blog.domain.com” on your InterWorx Web Panel server, access SiteWorx and navigate to the Hosting Features section.
