Troubleshooting DNS Conflicts: If you see "DNS record conflict" error:

• Check for duplicate records
• Look for conflicting record types
• Refresh page and try again
• Ensure you're not mixing email service records (e.g., Google Workspace and Zoho)

Custom DNS Records:

• Scroll to Custom Records section
• Add specific records as needed
• Follow provider instructions for third-party services

Note: For domain transfers, privacy settings, or non-DNS tasks, consult specific guides for those actions. Contact your service provider for detailed support with third-party services.

Important: Making incorrect DNS changes can affect your website's functionality. Always verify settings before making changes.
