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 Networking → DNS → Add Domain
  2. Enter your domain name (e.g., example.com)
  3. VeloxaHost creates the zone automatically
  4. 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.
