DNS records
To manage the DNS entries of a DNS zone, select the corresponding DNS zone in the zone management. In addition to the standard RR types, we also support Web forwarding.
Changes to the DNS zone can have an unintended effect. If you are not sure whether the change to be made is correct, you should make a backup of the entire DNS zone beforehand.
Create DNS record
To create a new DNS entry, select the Create entry button in the upper area. You can then freely define the RR type, the TTL, the host and the value of the entry.
The following RR types are supported:
A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, TXT, SPF, NS, SRV, ALIAS, RP, SSHFP, NAPTR, CAA, TLSA, SOA
To save the new entry, then select Save entry. The changes will then be distributed to all DNS Edge servers in our Anycast network.
Please note that the new DNS entry was not immediately propagated worldwide and it may take several hours until the entry is available worldwide. You can use our DNS lookup tool to check the resolution.
