The records you can manage

Open a domain you own, then its DNS editor. Add, edit or remove records, or review a preset for your email or hosting provider before applying it. Provider-issued verification values stay blank until you supply the real value.

A and AAAA

Point a name to an IPv4 or IPv6 address.

CNAME

Point an alias to another hostname.

ANAME

Point the root of your domain to a hostname. Available at the root only.

MX

Choose the mail server and its priority.

TXT

Publish ownership checks and email authentication records.

NS and SRV

Delegate a subdomain or describe a service. These types are available on subdomains.

CAA

Name the certificate authorities permitted to issue certificates for your domain.

TTL and publishing

TTL tells resolvers how long to cache a DNS answer. The editor accepts 60 to 604,800 seconds (7 days), with 3,600 seconds (1 hour) as the default. The lowest record TTL is applied to the whole zone at the registrar, so mixed per-record values are not independent cache settings.

Saving and publishing are separate steps. The editor reports when a change is saved but has not reached the registrar. Use its retry action if publishing fails, then allow existing cached answers to expire before checking the result.

Availability before you switch

DNSSEC

Not offered in BOLD Domains today. There is no switch for signing a zone or managing DS records.

Zone exports

No downloadable BIND zone file or bulk zone export is offered in the domain editor today.

External nameservers

You can change a domain’s nameservers. If another provider hosts your authoritative DNS, manage the records there.

Presets

Review the proposed records before applying a hosting or email preset. Existing mail and verification records may still be needed.
