How do I configure CAA records?

The configuration of CAA records is necessary to specify which certification authorities (CAs) are authorized to issue SSL certificates for a given domain. If no CAA records exist in the DNS zone, any certification authority can issue SSL certificates for the domain.

Preparation: Before configuring CAA records, ask your certification authority to provide the required values according to the SSL certificate you wish to obtain.

Steps to configure CAA records:

1. In your account, go to DOMAINS (Left Side Menu) > ACTIVE.
2. Move the cursor over the concerned domain and click on the Manage Icon on the right.
3. Click on EDIT DNS ZONE.
4. Click on NEW RECORD.
5. Select CAA (Certification Authority Authorization) in the "Type" dropdown menu.
6. Enter the values provided by your certification authority for the following fields: host, flag, value, and type.
7. Click on SAVE.
8. Click on SAVE CHANGES.

Note: DNS changes typically require up to 24 hours to propagate throughout the entire Internet.

Important: This option is only available if the domain is using our name servers.
