Look each of the existing records available. If you'll notice, on the right side of the page, you have options to 'edit' a record or 'delete' a record.


You can Edit or Delete your DNS Records
If you need to edit a record, you can edit it to update any of the following: a new 'Host', 'Target', or 'TTL' and then save your record by clicking 'Save record'.

You can, also, add different types of records by going up towards the top of the page and clicking 'Add Type Record'. This will drop down the menu and you will select the TXT Text option.
