Get started with Managed DNS in three steps

Managed DNS is available as standard with every domain name. Choose your name, place your order and set up your DNS records — or apply a template straight away.

Step 1

Choose your domain name

Choose a domain name that suits your brand, business or project. Use our domain checker to see whether your desired name is still available and pick the extension that suits you best.

Step 2

Order your domain name

Order your domain name via our website. After payment your domain is registered immediately and appears in your control panel. Managed DNS is available straight away from that point on.

Step 3

Set up DNS or apply a template

Enable Managed DNS via the control panel and add your DNS records manually, or apply a pre-configured DNS template directly to your domain name.

Domain check

Check instantly whether your domain name is still available

Enter your desired name and go straight to the availability check.

What can you do with Managed DNS?

Full control over your DNS — simple and reliable

Our Managed DNS service gives you complete control over your DNS settings. These are the features available as standard with every domain name.

Wide range of DNS records

Set up A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV and other record types easily via the control panel. All common record types are supported — managed clearly in one place.

Create and apply DNS templates

Create pre-configured DNS templates and apply them directly to a domain name. Useful when managing multiple domains with the same DNS settings.

Copy DNS settings

Copy the DNS settings from one domain name to another. This saves time when setting up new domains with similar configurations.

DNS history and restore

Every change to your DNS zone is recorded. Via the DNS history you can easily revert to a previous version — useful in case of errors or unwanted changes.

IPv6 and DNSSEC supported

Our nameservers fully support IPv6 and DNSSEC. With DNSSEC you protect your domain name against DNS spoofing and increase the reliability of your online presence.

Geographically distributed nameservers

Our nameservers are geographically distributed for maximum availability and speed. Reliable, scalable and fully manageable via our API — suitable for automated workflows too.

You create templates via the control panel and apply them directly at registration, after a transfer or on an existing domain.

DNS changes are processed immediately on our nameservers. How quickly the change becomes visible worldwide depends on the TTL value of the record and DNS propagation time. In most cases a change is active worldwide within minutes to an hour.

Managed DNS is included with domain names you have registered or transferred to us. If your domain is with another provider, you can transfer it to us to make use of our Managed DNS service.
