Where the DNS settings live
- Sign in and open My Domains → Manage Domains.
- Tick the domain and click DNS, or click the domain and choose DNS Settings.
Adding a record
- Set the DNS type to Dynadot DNS.
- Use the Domain Record rows for the root and Subdomain Records for anything else.
- Choose the record type, enter the value, and click Save DNS.
Editing or deleting a record
- Change the value in the row and click Save DNS. Clear a row to delete it.
Changing the nameservers
- On DNS Settings choose Name Servers instead of Dynadot DNS, enter them, and save.
Gotchas at Dynadot
- Root and subdomain records are in separate sections — a common source of confusion.
- Nothing saves until you press Save DNS at the bottom.
After you save
DNS changes aren't instant. Resolvers keep the old answer until the previous record's TTL expires, so a record with a 4-hour TTL can take 4 hours to change everywhere. Use the Route Planner's live check to see what the world sees, and the troubleshooting page if it still looks wrong after the TTL has passed.
