Adding DNS Settings on Ting Domains Nameservers

Adding DNS Settings on Ting Domains Nameservers

You are able to connect your Ting domain to services purchased from other providers, such as website hosting or email. To do so, you will need to update the DNS records associated with your domain.

Until you update your DNS records to associate or connect them to your domain, they will remain inactive.

Different types of services require different types of records to make them work with your domain. Always refer to the technical information provided to you by any service you purchase to use with your domain to find the records you need to create.

Creating new records is easy and you can most often simply copy and paste them out of the documentation or service provider welcome email into the Ting Domains DNS records creation tool as described below.

Attention

Your domain will need to use Ting Domain's default nameservers to handle any DNS settings you create in your Ting Domains account. If you are using external nameservers with your domain, you will need to create your DNS settings through the service controlling those 3rd party nameservers.

Updating Domain DNS Records

Note

Different types of records take different amounts of time to become live. Please refer to your outside provider's documentation to find out how long it generally takes for their records to propagate across the internet and begin to function.
