The HINFO record allows you to define the hardware type and Operating System (OS) in use for a host. This information can be used by application protocols such as FTP, which uses special procedures when communicating with computers of a known CPU and OS type. For security reasons, these records are rarely used on public servers.
The HINFO record has the following look in your DNS zone management page:
Host | Type | Points to: | TTL |
www.domain.com | HINFO | INTEL-386 Windows | 1 Hour |
Log in to your ClouDNS account, enter your DNS zone management page, and click on the Add new record button. For Type choose "HINFO" and type as follow:
