We've just launched a new version of OnSite with one big new feature: DNS Management. Thanks to our Software Engineer Jacob and the rest of the team for making it happen.
The new feature is under Domains -> Manage DNS currently and is available only to account administrators. Using the new tool, you'll be able to point specific hostnames at your local office network, or a blog hosting service, or anything you like. And, if you get in trouble, there's always the 'reset to defaults' option to revert your changes to the records originally created for you.
As always, use the 'Report Bug' feature if you encounter any unexpected behavior or errors. Thanks!

I'm not a Modwest customer (yet), but I've been looking for a host that would give me the advanced control usually associated with a reseller account, but without actually having to get a reseller account.
So my question is, what do you mean when you say that DNS management is "available only to account administrators"? What exactly is an account administrator? Does this mean that DNS management is only available to reseller users, or do ordinary shared hosting accounts also have this DNS management feature in their control panels?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the question -- DNS management is available to ordinary shared hosting account holders, and resold customers, but not mailbox-only users of either. (Resellers can enter the accounts of their resold customers and use the tool too.)
