Auto-Importing DNS Records
Legacy Plans don’t have access to this feature. You’ll need to be subscribed to one of our current plans to use this tool.
Auto-importing DNS records helps reduce downtime on your domain transfer or when hosting the DNS for your domain with us.
Instead of manually entering DNS records, or importing them in BIND format, we scan existing records and import them for you.
Not all domain providers let you export your records in this standard format.
We can import these DNS record types:
We prompt you to auto-import DNS records when:
- A domain transfer is about to start.
- Adding a domain for DNS management.
You can auto-import the zone for your domain any time by clicking on Auto-import DNS from the record editor.
Overview
We scan the existing records for your domain and let you import them all at once.
We automatically look for the most common subdomains, like www, blog, and email. You can add custom subdomains at the bottom of the form.
Once you have all the necessary records, click Import DNS records to add them to your domain zone.
Managing conflicts
If auto-importing a record conflicts with an existing record on your domain, we ask you to confirm which record you’d like to keep. By default, we don’t override the records on your domain — you’ll have to select the record that applies in your context.
Once you’ve made a selection, click Import DNS records to add them to your domain zone.
