Manage DNS records
Add, edit and import DNS records for a domain on DNA's nameservers.
Records live under Sites → the domain → DNS records. Changes apply on save, and an edit changes the record in place, so the name keeps answering while you work on it. To change records from a script or an AI agent, use the API.
Add or edit a record
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Name | @, www, or the full name; all three work |
| Value | The value exactly as the service gave it, a DKIM key included. A CNAME can sit on @ |
| TTL | Auto, or 1 minute to 1 day. A proxied record is always Auto |
| Proxied | On for web names, so requests go through DNA. See Proxied records |
- CNAME targets: a CNAME can point at your organization's other domains on DNA, but not inside a domain another organization connected. Imported records follow the same rule.
- Clashes: a CNAME can't share its name with an A, AAAA or another CNAME. The form names the record in the way before anything is saved.
- Search: filters by name, type or value; every word you type must match.
Proxied records
A proxied record sends traffic for its name through DNA. A record that isn't proxied answers DNS only.
DNA proxies web names and leaves the rest as DNS only: names starting with _ (DKIM, DMARC,
verification records) and the host your MX record points at, so mail goes straight to your
mail provider.
Import a zone file
The DNS records tab takes a zone file exported from your previous DNS host. Import one before you change the nameservers if the scan missed names your domain uses.
