1. What Has Changed?
As part of a technical update to our domain infrastructure, we are gradually transitioning new registrations to CloudDNS.
Note that existing domains are also affected by the transition. Existing domains will be migrated to the new system gradually.
2. What Are the Advantages of the Change?
Greater Stability
DNSSEC and the nameserver infrastructure have undergone technical revisions and optimizations. This makes DNS management more reliable and robust.
Greater Security and Speed
The modern CloudDNS infrastructure ensures the secure processing of DNS queries and fast delivery worldwide.
Scalability
CloudDNS offers a powerful, future-proof infrastructure that flexibly scales with growing requirements.
3. What Does This Mean for You?
The change has resulted in a redesign of the Customer Control Panel (CCP) interface. For newly registered domains with CloudDNS , you will find the following changes:
New Menu Item: Nameserver Sets
In the Customer Control Panel (CCP), you will now find the additional menu item Nameserver Sets , where you can centrally manage your name server configurations.
Nameservers are now managed via presets :
- Nameservers are saved as a set.
- Once you have created a set, you can assign it to multiple domains.

Separate Tab for DNSSEC
You can now find the DNSSEC settings in a separate tab called DNSSEC instead of under DNS as before.
Renaming the DNS Tab to CloudDNS
The previous DNS tab has been renamed to CloudDNS. In this area, you can manage and customize your domain settings for the CloudDNS zone.
Please note that incorrect settings may result in your domain becoming inaccessible.
4. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The Time To Live (TTL) determines how long old DNS records remain valid. You can adjust this flexibly. However, not all nameservers take this into account. It can therefore take up to 48 hours for your DNS to be distributed worldwide.
Custom presets are not currently supported. However, you can reset the DNS of a web hosting plan here if the domain is assigned to web hosting.
You can only change the priority of a DNS record for the MX and SRV types. An MX record specifies which mail server receives emails for a domain. The priority determines the order: the lower the value, the more preferred the server is. An SRV record is used for certain services (e.g., VoIP or other network services). Here, too, the priority determines which server is contacted first. No priority is specified for other DNS types such as A, CNAME, or TXT, as these do not require a service order or failover logic.
