DNS FAQs

Mis servidores de nombres apuntan en otro lugar aparte que GKG, ¿puedo usar el estacionamiento, alojamiento DNS de GKG y servicios de Web Hosting?

No, para que un cliente utilice cualquiera de los servicios de GKG en uno de sus dominiosdeben de usar servidores de nombres de GKG. Esto significa que si usted tiene un sitio web con otra empresa y usted desea cambiar un registro MX o la creación de estacionamiento con GKG tendrá que apuntar a los servidores de nombres fuera de su actual proveedor de alojamiento de GKG. Esto a su vez, hará que cualquier servicio con otro proveedor va a detener la resolución o en pocas palabras "no funcionara".

No hay necesidad de temer sin embargo, con el uso adecuado de los DNS Hosting de GKG usted puede apuntar su registro A de (página web) y registro MX de (correo electrónico) a proveedores independientes.

Back to top How do I modify my registered nameserver's IP address?

To modify your DNS, go to our Manage Doamins section. After selecting the domain to modify, scroll down to "DNS Hosts". The nameservers that you have registered will be listed in this section. To update them, click "Edit" next to the appropriate entry.

You MUST meet the following criteria for your form to be processed:

  1. The parent domain must be registered with GKG (ex: if you want to register 'NS#.DOMAIN.COM', 'DOMAIN.COM' must first be registered with GKG.NET).
  2. Your IP number must be static (excludes servers with cable modem with DHCP assigned IP numbers).
  3. Request must come from current Registrant or current Administrative/Technical contact.
There is no charge for this service.

Back to top How do I register my own DNS?

To register your own DNS, go to our Register/Modify a DNS section. Select Register DNS and fill in the form and press submit to provide GKG with the needed information. You MUST meet the following criteria for your form to be processed:

  1. The parent domain must be registered with GKG
    (ex: if you want to register 'NS#.DOMAIN.COM', 'DOMAIN.COM' must first be registered with GKG.NET).
  2. Your IP number must be static (excludes servers with cable modem with DHCP assigned IP numbers).
  3. Request must come from current Registrant or current Administrative/Technical contact.

There is no charge for this service. Back to top How do I register my own name server?

You can register or modify registered name servers by logging into your GKG account and going to My Account -> Manage Domains. Name servers need to be registered individually, so if you have multiple domain names select the domain name you need to add name servers for and click CONTINUE.

If you scroll down the page you will find a box titled "DNS Hosts". This is your record of registered name servers and their glue records (the IP address they resolve to). In this box you can either register a new name server or modify the glue record of an existing record.

Once you create a name server record it can be used for any domain name.

Back to top How do I delete a name server?

Name servers are only allowed to be deleted if there are no domain names using them. If you would like to delete a name server rather than modify it, please use this page to contact us.

Back to top How do I submit my own Delegation Signer records for DNSSEC?

Login here /protected/domain/modify and select the domain for which you would like to submit DS records.

Scroll down to the "Delegation Signer Records" and click "add." When done just click "Add Key."

We also have a RESTful API available for submitting DS records: more information can be found at http://www.gkg.net/ws/ds.html

Back to top What is DNS Zone Hosting and how does it work?

This short documentation should not be used as a full lesson in DNS. It should be used only for a quick lesson on how DNS works.

SOA (Start of Authority)

  1. The @ symbol stands for the ORIGIN record (also known as the domain name)
  2. The serial number will increment when the zone records are updated
  3. The authoritative name server will not be changeable.
  4. You may change the administrative email address, but the email address will be listed as user.domain.com. Remember the @ symbol is the origin so it can not be used within an email address.

IPV4 Addresses (A Records)

  1. To set up a new A record, simply supply the host, the IP address to which the host will be directed and the time to live (TTL) setting. If you want to set up a zone record for your website, you might set up www as the host and then the IP address for your web server, and the TTL (Time To Live) setting as 1 day. You might also set up the @ (origin) record as the host and use the same IP address as you did for www. This way visitors can get to your site by typing either: http://www.domain.com or just http://domain.com.
  2. If you want to use email (mail is a host), you might set up an A record for mail, pointing to either the same or a different IP address. A valid A record for mail must exist if you are uising an MX record (explained below)
  3. The * refers to a wildcard and means any undefined hosts will be forwarded to that IP address.
  4. TTL (Time To Live) is sent when an outside server queries our DNS for a specific zone. If the TTL is set to 1 day, and a specific server queries our DNS for your domain, then that specific server will NOT re-query our DNS again until the 1 day is up. Therefore if changes to the zone are made within that 1 day, users of that server will not see them until after the TTL has expired. The TTL only makes a difference when you MODIFY the record. If you ADD a new host, it will be available within a few minutes.

EXAMPLE:

HOST IP Address TTL
@ xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 1 Day
www xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 1 Day
mail xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 1 Day

Mail Exchanges (MX Records)

  1. To set up a new MX record, supply the host (usually the origin @), the mail exchange (which must be a valid A record) to which the mail will be directed, a preference and a TTL setting.
  2. The preference tells the zone what order it should attempt to deliver. It delivers to the lowest preference first.

EXAMPLE:

HOST Mail Exchanger Preference TTL
@ mail.domain.com 5 1 Day

CNAME

  1. A CNAME is an alias.
  2. To set up a CNAME, simply supply the host, the canonical name and the TTL setting. A canonical name is the target to which the host will be aliased. For example, if I set up a CNAME for secure.abc.com ('secure' is the host) with a canonical name of www.gkg.net, anytime secure.abc.com is entered it will be aliased or redirected to www.gkg.net. (NOTE: CNAME records are not equivalent to URL Forwarding)

TXT records

  1. Zone information is available for public review by performing simple queries. When a zone record is queried, there is an optional space provided for TEXT. This space may be used to provide contact information or general information to the public. A Sender Policy Framework (SPF) record can also be set here to help prevent spammers from sending via your domain name.

Those are the basics for how DNS works, and how to set it up correctly using GKG's DNS Zone Hosting tools. There are of course hundreds of other possibilities and they can not all be explained here. However these examples above are the most common settings.

Back to top What is DNS?

DNS stands for Domain Name System. The DNS translates URL text addresses (such as gkg.net) into a numeric Internet address (such as 216.217.56.2).

Every website hosting provider is required to have at least 2 DNS servers, (up to 13 are possible) which direct traffic to the websites they host.

In order for a domain name to work properly, the Registry must know which DNS servers to query. DNS servers MUST be valid and registered with the registry before they can be used as DNS servers.

Back to top What is DNSSEC?

DNSSEC stands for DNS Security Extensions. These 'extensions' add keys and signatures to the current DNS (Domain Name System) protocol.

Basically, when your browser searches the Internet to find websites, the requests will be verified by a series of signatures. This means if hackers attempt to redirect you to a fake website to steal the information you enter in, the signature of their websites will not match the sites you have requested and will therefore be ignored. You will be directed correctly to the sites you wish to visit and not have to worry that you may be navigating to a fraudulent copy created by a thief.
