DNS Management

VeloxaHost is an authoritative DNS provider — manage all your domain's records directly from the console or API.

Add a Domain

  1. Go to DNS Zones in the sidebar and click New Zone
  2. Enter your domain name (e.g., example.com)
  3. Prove you own the domain: add the TXT record the console shows at your current DNS provider. This check is skipped if the domain is registered with us.
  4. Once ownership is confirmed, VeloxaHost creates the zone
  5. Update your domain registrar's nameservers to:
    ns1.veloxahost.com   ns2.veloxahost.com
ℹ️

DNS propagation after updating nameservers typically takes 15 minutes to 48 hours depending on your registrar's TTL.

Supported Record Types

TypeUse case
AMap hostname → IPv4 (e.g., your server's dedicated IPv4 address)
AAAAMap hostname → IPv6
CNAMEAlias hostname → another hostname
MXMail server routing
TXTSPF, DKIM, domain verification
NSDelegate a subdomain to another nameserver
SRVService location (XMPP, SIP, etc.)
PTRReverse lookup (address → hostname)
CAARestrict which CAs can issue certs for your domain (console only)

Add a Record (API)

The API accepts the types A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV, NS and PTR; add CAA records in the console. Records are created without a TTL field.

POST /api/v1/dns/zones/example.com/records
{
  "type": "A",
  "name": "@",            // @ = root domain
  "value": "203.0.113.42"
}

# Subdomain
{
  "type": "A",
  "name": "api",          // api.example.com
  "value": "203.0.113.43"
}

# CNAME
{
  "type": "CNAME",
  "name": "www",
  "value": "example.com."
}
