How do I configure an ALIAS record?

An A Alias (APEX ALIAS) record directs the root domain (example.com) to a server name.

To configure an Apex Alias record, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your account and navigate to DOMAINS > ACTIVE.
2. Hover over the desired domain and click on the Manage icon on the right.
3. Click on EDIT DNS ZONE.
4. Click on NEW RECORD.
5. In the "Type" dropdown menu, select APEX (APEX Alias).
6. In the "ALIAS" field, enter the server name. If the server is outside the domain, add a "." at the end of the server name (e.g., "myserver.example.com.").
7. Enter the TTL value. The default is 1 hour.
8. Click SAVE RECORD.
9. Click SAVE ZONE to finalise the changes.

Note: DNS changes can take up to 24 hours to propagate across the Internet.

Additional Notes:

• Apex Alias records can also be configured for subdomains.
• This feature is only available if the domain is using our AnyCast name servers.
• Apex Alias configuration is not possible if DNSSEC is activated on the domain.
