Add DNS records at Dynadot

These are the steps for Dynadot. For what the records do and how to check the setup afterwards, see Subdomain setup.

Datahash tells you which record type to use and gives you the values. Follow the matching section below and enter the values you were given.

Adding NS records

Section titled “Adding NS records”

  1. Sign in to Dynadot and go to My Account.

  2. Open Manage Domains under My Domains.

  3. Tick the domain, click Bulk action, then DNS Settings.

  4. Choose Nameserver from the dropdown, choose to enter a new or existing nameserver, enter one value, and click Save Name Server.

You will have been given four nameserver values. Repeat the last two steps until all four records exist. A delegation with one of the four missing looks complete in DNS Settings and does not resolve.
