Overview

This section allows to manage DNS automation settings. 

DNS Service Package

Here, you can set the DNS Service Package that will be used for: 

  • Matching nameservers.
    NS set in this product's configuration will be compared to domain nameservers. If nameservers match, DNS zone can be auto-created by this plugin.
  • Creating DNS management package.
    Once customer visits DNS management section in his domain, and its nameservers are set to your servers, he will be redirected to account with DNS management feature for this package.
