How to reset DNS and park your domain
If your DNS records are in disarray, one easy way to set things back to "factory default" is to park your domain. By parking your domain in Domain Management, you can set your domain back to the original landing page we provide, or the "for sale" page if you've listed the domain in the Marketplace.
⚠️️ Please note
Parking removes any ALIAS, CNAME, A, and AAAA records for the root domain, the www subdomain, and the wildcard (*) subdomain in Porkbun DNS. If your domain currently points at a 3rd-party web host, the root domain will point back at Porkbun once the domain is parked.
What happens after I park my domain?
For most domains, after you "Park Domain," you'll see one of the following landing images when you visit in a browser, depending on whether or not your domain has been listed for sale on our Marketplace:

- Log in. You should arrive at the Domain Management screen. If you're already logged in, click on ACCOUNT in the top-right corner and select Domain Management.
That's it! You can breathe a sigh of relief, and your domain is now parked at Porkbun.
Fixing email records
Please note that parking your domain only impacts web hosting. If you deleted the MX (Mail Exchange) records that tell the Internet to deliver your email to Porkbun's email servers, or your MX records are pointed at a 3rd-party email provider you no longer wish to use, you can select the "Fix DNS" button at the bottom of the Email Hosting and Forwarding page:
Another option is to manually update your MX and SPF records. If you wish to do so, here are the default Porkbun DNS records related to email. Be sure to remove any existing MX or SPF-type TXT records before adding these values:
| Type | Host | Value (Answer) | Priority |
| MX | leave blank | fwd1.porkbun.com | 1 |
| MX | leave blank | fwd2.porkbun.com | 1 |
| TXT | leave blank | v=spf1 mx include:_spf.porkbun.com ~all | |
