DNS Services
DNS connects domain names to websites, mail systems and other services. The authoritative nameservers determine where records must be managed.
How DNS Works at NiceNIC
- Use NiceNIC DNS when the domain delegates to NiceNIC nameservers.
- Use the external provider's panel when the domain delegates elsewhere.
- Nameserver changes and record changes are different operations.
Safe Change Process
- Back up the current zone.
- Confirm the authoritative provider.
- Add or edit the required record.
- Check the authoritative response.
- Allow cached answers to expire.
- Test the dependent service.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know the change worked?
Check the current status in your NiceNIC account, then test the service that depends on DNS. Do not rely only on the absence of an error message.
When should I contact NiceNIC Support?
Submit a ticket when the required control is unavailable, the status remains pending after the checks in this guide, or the issue depends on an account-specific order or registry decision.
