    That depends, does your domain provider host your DNS Servers? Or do you?

    You can change it either domain side or your in your hosting side.. But it is preferable to change the DNS records in your domain side itself, as you may change hosting providers often.

    Provide us with your domain or name Servers if you have any idea what they are, Also provide us with your provider, based on your name servers we should be able to advise you where your DNS is hosted.

    From that, I assume you own the domain "allgiggles.com.
    If that is the case, you have manually set custom name Servers?

    IF that is the case, you should be able to login to cPanel and find "Simple DNS Zone Editor" & then add the required entries in there.

    Regards,
    Brendan.
