DNS¶

General concept¶

Using our DNS feature, you can use the platform to control your DNS (domain) zones.

In order to start using the feature, first add one or more zones, add the pointers (A, MX, etc) and finally change the NS pointers at your DNS registrar for your domain to our DNS servers.

ns.binero.eu
ns.binero.se
ns.binero.com

The DNS registrar is the company you pay to register and renew your domain name. Binero does not DNS registrar services.

Note

The DNS name servers provided by Binero (that is, the servers that answer the DNS queries) are not hosted with Binero but with Netnod. By default, the DNS service does not provide anycast capabilities but if you need that, please contact our support and we can help enable it for your DNS zone(s).

Create a zone¶

To create a zone, please follow the guide below to the system you want to use:
