Frequently Asked Questions

How fast does DNS propagation occur? +
CloudNexus DNS uses a globally distributed anycast network. Record changes typically propagate to all edge nodes within 10-30 seconds. TTL values determine client caching, not our network propagation time.
Can I transfer my existing domain? +
Yes. You can either transfer your domain registrar to CloudNexus, or keep your current registrar and simply update the nameservers to our DNS endpoints. We support BIND zone imports to make migration seamless.
Is DNSSEC enabled by default? +
DNSSEC is available on Pro and Enterprise plans. Once enabled, we automatically handle key rotation, signing, and validation. You can opt-out per zone if needed.
Do you offer a Terraform provider? +
Yes, our official Terraform provider is published on the Terraform Registry. It supports full CRUD operations for zones, records, DNSSEC, and access controls. Documentation and examples are available in our developer hub.
