Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about CNX DNS.

How long does it take to set up CNX DNS?

+

Setting up CNX DNS takes just minutes. Simply add your domain, update your nameservers at your registrar, and our system automatically configures your zone. Most domains are fully operational within 5-10 minutes of configuration.

Can I migrate my existing DNS zones?

+

Absolutely. We support bulk import from BIND zone files, CSV, and JSON formats. You can also use our one-click migration tool from major providers like GoDaddy, Namecheap, AWS Route 53, and Cloudflare. Our team can also assist with complex migrations.

Does CNX DNS support DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) and DoT?

+

Yes! CNX DNS supports DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) and DNS-over-TLS (DoT) out of the box. All queries are encrypted in transit, and we provide dedicated DoH/DoT endpoints for maximum security and privacy.

How does DNSSEC work with CNX DNS?

+

DNSSEC is fully automated. When enabled, we automatically generate and manage signing keys (KSK and ZSK), sign your zone records, and handle key rotation. We also support CDS/CDNSKEY protocol for automated parent zone DS record updates.

What is the DNS propagation time?

+

With our global anycast network, zone changes propagate to all 50+ edge nodes in under 60 seconds. Your DNS records are updated nearly instantly across the entire network, eliminating the traditional DNS propagation delay.

Is there an API for programmatic DNS management?

+

Yes, CNX DNS provides a comprehensive RESTful API with full CRUD operations for zones and records. We also offer official SDKs for Python, Go, Node.js, and Ruby. The API supports webhooks for event-driven automation and integrates seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines.

What happens if I exceed my query limit?

+

We'll never cut off your DNS service. If you exceed your plan's query limit, we'll notify you and continue serving your DNS requests. You can upgrade your plan at any time. We also offer custom enterprise plans for high-volume use cases.
