Which recursive name servers (resolvers) should I use in my server configuration?
- We provide a set of recursive DNS servers for the use on servers that are hosted within our infrastructure, see our documentation at Hetzner recursive name servers.
- You can set also set up your own resolver if you don't want to use ours. Please note, that you are responsible for its safe and secure operation. We recommend adhering to some basic guidelines.
Which name servers can I use for my domains?
- You can set up your own name server.
- If you do not wish to operate your own name server, you can use the Hetzner Console. For details on managing DNS entries via Hetzner Console, please see DNS overview.
Why can I not upate my domain with nameservers NS.HOST.NAME?
Please do not use capital letters for nameserver hostnames.
I have used the slave DNS entry option, but the secondary name server has not accepted the changes?
- You may not have increased the serial number in the zone SOA record.
- The secondary name server will only accept changes from the primary name server in the refresh interval mentioned in the SOA record.
