Novin Cloud DNS Service

With Novin Cloud's DNS service, you can manage your domain's records from inside the user console — no need for your domain registrar's panel.

Overview​

Your domain is registered with a domain registrar (such as IRNIC or any other registrar). What Novin Cloud does is host the DNS records for that domain. To do this, you need to point the domain's nameservers to Novin Cloud's nameservers in your registrar's panel.

         │                             │  defined records ────────►│

How it works​

  1. Add the domain — Register the domain in the console. Its status becomes Pending.
  2. Configure the nameservers — Enter the nameservers shown by the console into your domain registrar's panel.
  3. Activate — Click "Recheck" to check the status. Once verified, the status becomes Active.
  4. Manage records — Add A, CNAME, MX, and other records.
