Change a DNS record without asking anyone.

Your records, edited by you, in the same panel as your site and your email. No support ticket, no 24-hour wait, and no form that only accepts three of the record types you need.

Records

The types you actually need.

Each with its real fields — so an MX has a priority box and an SRV has weight and port, rather than one text field you have to format by hand and hope.

TypeFields beyond the value
A / AAAAIPv4 and IPv6 addresses
CNAMEalias to another name
MXpriority
TXTquoted properly, so SPF and DKIM survive
SRVpriority, weight, port
CAAflags, tag, value
NS / PTRdelegation and reverse

How it behaves

It will not quietly lose your edit.

A failed change is not reported as saved

If a record cannot be pushed it stays marked pending and is retried, instead of showing a green tick and doing nothing.

Editing elsewhere still works

Change something at your registrar instead and the two are reconciled, rather than one silently overwriting the other.

Disagreements are visible

When the panel and the nameservers differ, that shows as drift you can look at — not resolved quietly behind your back.

DNSSEC is a switch

Turn it on and signing is handled. If your domain is registered with us the registrar side is done too, so there is nothing to copy between two panels and get wrong.

Questions

Worth knowing.

Is DNS included with hosting?

Yes, on every plan. If you only want DNS and nothing else, that is available on its own too — point your domain’s nameservers at us and that is the whole arrangement.

Do I have to pick a region?

No, and you will not be asked to. DNS is served from everywhere rather than placed in one location, so the question does not come up.

How long do changes take?

The change reaches our nameservers straight away. What you actually wait for is the TTL on the old record expiring in other people’s caches — so lower the TTL a day before a planned move.

Can I let my web developer edit DNS but nothing else?

Yes. Access is granted per thing, so someone can hold DNS without also getting your billing, your mailboxes or your files.

Will you help me move my DNS across?

Yes. Send us your current records, or the domain, and we will set them up and tell you what to switch and when.

DNS lives with everything else

Same panel as your websites, email, databases and backups — and the same bill.
