DNS for every domain you own
Authoritative DNS for your domains with every common record type, DNSSEC and load balancing, managed in the dashboard or through the API.
DNS is the address book that points your domain at your site and your email. Host it on our nameservers with every common record type, DNSSEC (signatures that show each answer is genuine) and load balancing, in the dashboard or through the API.

What DNS hosting includes
Every zone gets these on every plan. Query statistics go back 24 hours on Free, and 30 days on Pro and above.
- Every common record type. A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV, NS, CAA, PTR, SVCB, HTTPS and DS records, each checked before we save it. Each record has a TTL (how long resolvers may keep it) from 60 seconds to 1 day.
- DNSSEC signing. We sign every zone from the moment you add it. Resolvers check the signatures once you add the zone’s DS record at the domain’s registrar. For a domain you registered with us, ask our support team.
- Load balancing. Answer a name with the servers in your pools that pass their health checks, steer visitors by where they are, and fall back to another pool when one is down.
- Proxied records. Turn on the proxy for an A or AAAA record, and visitors reach that name through Edge Proxy, with its firewall and a free certificate. Edge Proxy
- Zone files in and out. Copy records in from a standard zone file when you move a domain here, or download a zone’s records as one.
- Query statistics. See how many queries each zone answered, by hour and by response code. The Free plan keeps the last 24 hours of query history, and Pro and above keep 30 days.
How it works
- Add your domain. Add a domain you own to our DNS, or register a new one here.
- Set the nameservers. At your registrar, point the domain at our nameservers. A domain you register here starts on them.
- Manage the records. Add records on the domain’s DNS tab or through the API. Our nameservers answer with each change as soon as you save it.
Add-ons

- Add, edit and delete DNS records: Change a zone’s records on the DNS tab or through the API.
- DNS record types: Each record type a zone accepts, and what it takes.

Frequently asked questions
Does DNS hosting cost extra?
DNS hosting comes with every plan at no extra charge. Each domain in our DNS counts as one of your websites: 3 on Free, 10 on Pro and 50 on Business.
Can I keep my domain at another registrar?
Keep it where it is: add the domain to our DNS, then set its nameservers at your registrar to ours, ns1.coritan.com to ns8.coritan.com.
How fast do changes take effect?
Our nameservers answer with a change as soon as you save it. A resolver that kept the old answer uses it until the record’s TTL runs out, so lower the TTL a while before a planned change.
Can I manage records through the API?
You can add, change and delete records through the API as well as on the DNS tab. The dashboard also imports and exports a whole zone as a standard zone file.
What does a load balancer do?
It answers a name with the servers in your pools that pass their health checks, can steer visitors by where they are, and falls back to another pool when one is down. The Free plan includes 1, Pro 5 and Business 25.
