Delegation
A change of NS servers is filed with the registry by the provider. Propagation across the global DNS takes up to 24 hours.
Service
DNS records
and domain delegation
Record management stays with the client: values are edited in the panel, validated before saving and stored with a version history. Changing NS servers in the registry is handled by the provider.
01Record types
Which records are supported
Values are validated before saving, so an invalid record never reaches the zone.
No.
Type
Purpose
01
A and AAAA
The IPv4 and IPv6 address of the server a browser connects to by the domain name.
02
CNAME
An alias: the name points to another domain name, for example an external service.
03
MX
The mail servers of the domain and their priority for message delivery.
04
TXT
Text records: SPF, DKIM, DMARC and domain ownership verification for external services.
05
NS
The name servers the zone is delegated to. A change is recorded in the registry.
06
CAA
The list of certificate authorities allowed to issue certificates for the domain.
02How it works
The boundary between client and provider
The client shapes the contents of the zone, the provider handles the registry side.
Editing the zone
A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT and CAA records are changed by the client without any approval.
Value validation
The format of a record is checked before saving: a syntax error never reaches the published zone.
Change history
Every edit is stored with its date and author, and a previous version of the zone can be restored.
Hosting move
When a project moves, the records are prepared in advance and switched over at an agreed time.
No access to data
The provider gets no access to the website, email or content of the project.
03About the service
Records and delegation
The questions that come up most often when moving a project or setting up email.
Ask a questionThe values come from the client and the request is filed with the registry by the provider. Propagation across the global DNS takes up to 24 hours.
No. Records inside the zone are changed by the client. Approval is only needed for a change of delegation.
The format is validated before saving. If a faulty record does get published, the previous version of the zone is restored from the change history.
Yes. It is enough to set the NS servers of the chosen provider; the zone is then managed on their side.
