What is a Cloud DNS

DNS Service

DNS is a managed service that allows you to easily configure the DNS zones of your domains.

Disclaimer ⚠️ To use Alpha3 Cloud's DNS service, you need to update your domain registar with the following nameservers.

Add your Domain

Adding your domain is an easy process. If it's your first time adding a domain, on the DNS page you will see a big blue button Add a Domain Now that's where you want to click.



All you have to do is:

-Choose your preferred project
-Enter the name of your domain

Example: yourdomain.com



And that's it. From now on, managing your DNS Records is as easy as it gets.

Manage DNS

Use @ to create the record at the root of the domain or enter a hostname to create it elsewhere. A records are for IPv4 addresses only and tell a request where your domain should direct to.

A quick explantion of all the records:

A Record (Address Record)

• Maps a domain name to an IPv4 address.

AAAA Record (IPv6 Address Record)

• An AAAA (pronounced “quad-A”) record in DNS (Domain Name System) is used to map a domain name to an IPv6 address. The value of an AAAA record is always an IPv6 address.

CNAME Record (Canonical Name Record)

• Aliases one domain name to another. Useful for pointing multiple domain names to the same site.

MX Record (Mail Exchange Record)

• Directs email to a mail server. Defines the mail servers for a domain.

TXT Record (Text Record)

• Holds arbitrary text data, often used for email validation and domain verification.

NS Record (Name Server Record)

• Indicates the authoritative name servers for a domain.

SRV Record (Service Record)

• Specifies a host and port for specific services, such as VoIP or messaging services.

PTR Record (Pointer Record)

• Maps an IP address to a domain name (reverse DNS lookup).

SOA Record (Start of Authority Record)

• Provides information about the DNS zone, including the primary name server, email of the domain admin, and various timers.

CAA Record (Certification Authority Authorization Record)

• Specifies which certificate authorities are allowed to issue certificates for the domain.
