Your API Token is now successfully imported into FlashPanel, enabling you to manage DNS, SSL certificates, and related settings directly from the platform.

Manage DNS

After successfully adding the API key, the system will automatically retrieve all the domains you allow to manage. You just need to choose which domain to manage.

Maybe you don't know?

When you create a new website, the domain name is in the list of managed domains at FlashPanel. The system will automatically create a type A DNS record pointing to the server being used to create the domain name.
