DNS editor

Your DNS editor is most confusing.

All I need is the most basic of setup:

A record --> My Server's IP address
CNAME --> www

The A record setup works, but the CNAME entry process eludes me.

Are there instructions somewhere? Seems like you put in entries, and have to hope for the best.

I noticed that you're using MX records. You won't be able to use a CNAME as your main record type if you want to use MX records. I don't, however, see any reason you shouldn't be able to set one up on your www subdomain. Are you getting any error messages when you try to save? What isn't working for you?
