Zone – Add Domain to DNS

In this article, you will learn:

• How WEDOS DNS (WDNS) works
• How to add Domains to WEDOS DNS:
  • Automatically
  • Manually
• Frequently asked questions

WEDOS DNS

You can use WEDOS DNS in one of two modes:

• Primary stores DNS records directly on WEDOS DNS servers. This is the default mode for adding DNS records automatically (excluding WAPI automation) and in bulk.
• Secondary retrieves DNS records from another authoritative DNS server via AXFR. This means that WEDOS DNS is only used to deliver records stored and managed elsewhere. The only way to create secodary DNS records is manual and via WAPI.

DNS Templates

While adding a domain to DNS manually or in bulk, you can use templates to pre-populate primary DNS with records.

Adding Domains to WEDOS DNS

WEDOS supports the following methods of adding a new domain to WEDOS DNS:

• Automatic. These are domains added to DNS by the system during service creation or setup. Read more about automatic creation here.
• Manual. Any domain that has no WEDOS DNS can be added manually. Read more about manual creation here.
• Bulk. To add multiple domains to WEDOS DNS, you can use the bulk interface. Adding domains in bulk requires a DNS template.
• WAPI. Adding a domain to WEDOS DNS via WAPI offers all options available to adding it manually.

Adding Domains Automatically

For any WEDOS service associated with a domain (such as WEDOS.protection), the system typically creates primary WEDOS DNS for that domain, unless it already exists (primary or secondary). By default, new DNS records are also directed to that service.

Adding Domains Manually

To add a domain to WEDOS DNS manually, follow these steps:

1. Log into WEDOS Global admin panel ⧉.
2. In the left menu, select ZONE, followed by Add Domain to DNS.
3. Fill in the domain information, agree with the terms and conditions.
   • For a primary domain, enter the domain name. You may also select a template to pre-populate DNS records.
   • For a secondary domain, enter the domain name and Primary IP (the IP address of the authoritative DNS server). Secondary domains do not use templates.
4. Click the Add Domain button.
