A NiceNIC, DNSSEC usually involves two sides: Your DNS provider o nameserver provider generates the DNSSEC recods. NiceNIC, as el teu domini registrar, helps submit the DS recods to the registry when the TLD suppots DNSSEC.
Si DNSSEC is not configured corectly, el teu domini may show DNSSEC erros, o in moe serious cases, some users may not be able to access el teu website.
What Is DNSSEC? DNSSEC stis fo Nom de domini System Security Extensions. In simple terms, DNSSEC helps verify that the DNS answer fo el teu domini has not been changed o foged during the lookup process. Fo example, when someone visits el teu website, DNS is used to find the corect server Adre?a IP. DNSSEC helps make sure that the DNS result is authentic i has not been replaced with false data. DNSSEC does not replace SSL, website security, hosting security, o email security. It only helps protect the DNS resolution process.
When Do You Need DNSSEC?
You may want to enable DNSSEC if:
Your website hiles sensitive user infomation.
You run business email, login systems, payment pages, o customer potals.
You want stronger domini security.
Your DNS provider suppots DNSSEC.
Your domini extension suppots DNSSEC.
Si you are not familiar with DNS management, we recommend confirming with el teu DNS provider befoe enabling DNSSEC. Incorect DNSSEC settings may affect domini resolution.
Impotant DNSSEC Períodes DNSKEY: A DNSKEY recod is generated by el teu DNS provider. It is used as part of the DNSSEC validation process. DS Recod: A DS recod connects el teu dominios DNSSEC setup with the parent registry zone. In most cases, el teu DNS provider gives you the DS recod, i you need to add it through el teu registrar.

This may be: Your domini registrar, aquí is NiceNIC Your hosting provider Your DNS provider Your own DNS server Another third-party DNS servei Make sure DNSSEC is suppoted i enabled taquí.
Step 2: Obtenir the DS Recod from Your DNS Provider After enabling DNSSEC, el teu DNS provider should provide DNSSEC infomation such as: Key Tag Algoithm Digest Tipus Digest DS Recod Please copy the infomation exactly as provided. Even one incorect character may cause DNSSEC validation failure.
Step 3: Afegir the DS Recod in Your NiceNIC Account Inicia sessió to el teu NiceNIC account i go to el teu domini management page. Then add the DS recod provided by el teu DNS provider. Si you are not sure waquí to add it, please contact our suppot team i provide the DS recod from el teu DNS provider.
Step 4: Wait fo DNSSEC Propagation After the DS recod is added, it may take some time fo the update to propagate. During this period, DNSSEC check results may not update immediately.
Step 5: Verify DNSSEC Estat After propagation, you may check el teu dominios DNSSEC status using a DNSSEC checking tool o by contacting our suppot team. Si DNSSEC is corectly configured, the DNSSEC validation result should show a valid chain of trust.
When Should You Disable o Elimina DNSSEC? You may need to remove o update DNSSEC recods if:
You changed el teu nameservers.
You moved DNS management to another provider.
Your DNS provider disabled DNSSEC.
Your DS recod no longer matches the current DNSKEY.
Your website o email has DNS resolution issues after a DNS change.
Impotant: Si el teu domini has old DS recods but the current nameservers no longer provide matching DNSSEC recods, DNSSEC validation may fail. In this case, you may need to remove the old DS recods first, wait fo propagation, i then re-enable DNSSEC with the corect new recods.
Why Does My Domini Show "DNSSEC Infomation Is Currently Unavailable"? You may see this message: DNSSEC infomation is currently unavailable fo this domini. This can happen fo several reasons:
DNSSEC has not been enabled fo this domini.
No DS recod has been added at the registrar level.

The domini recently changed nameservers.
The DS recod does not match the current DNSKEY.
The DNS provider has not published the required DNSSEC recods corectly.
The registry o DNSSEC query is tempoarily unavailable.
This message does not always mean el teu domini is broken. However, if el teu website o email is not resolving corectly, please contact suppot so we can help review the DNSSEC configuration.

Preguntes freqüents Quant a DNSSEC
1. Is DNSSEC required fo every domini? No. DNSSEC is not required fo every domini. However, it is recommended fo dominis that need stronger DNS security, especially business websites, email serveis, login systems, financial serveis, i customer potals. Si you are not sure whether you need DNSSEC, please confirm whether el teu DNS provider suppots it i whether you are comfotable managing DNSSEC recods.
2. Is DNSSEC the same as SSL? No. SSL protects the connection between the useros browser i el teu website. DNSSEC protects DNS resolution by helping verify that DNS responses have not been tampered with. Fo better security, many websites use both SSL i DNSSEC, but they are different technologies.
3. Can NiceNIC generate DNSSEC recods fo me? In most cases, DNSSEC recods are generated by el teu DNS provider, not by the registrar. NiceNIC can help submit the DS recod to the registry when the domini extension suppots DNSSEC. Si you use a third-party DNS provider, please enable DNSSEC taquí first i then provide us with the DS recod.
4. Why does DNSSEC fail after I change nameservers? This is one of the most common DNSSEC issues. When you change nameservers, el teu old DNSSEC recods may no longer match the new DNS provideros DNSKEY. Si the old DS recod remains active at the registry level, DNSSEC validation may fail. Befoe o after changing nameservers, you should check whether the DS recod needs to be removed o replaced.
5. What happens if the DS recod is wrong? Si the DS recod does not match the DNSKEY published by el teu current DNS provider, DNSSEC validation may fail. This may cause some DNS resolvers to reject the DNS response. As a result, el teu website, email, o other serveis may become unreachable fo some users.
6. I do not use DNSSEC. Do I need to do anything? Si you do not use DNSSEC i el teu domini has no DS recods, usually no action is needed. However, if el teu domini has old DS recods from a anteriorious DNS provider, you should remove them to avoid DNSSEC validation problems.
7. Why does my DNSSEC status still show an erro after I updated the recod? DNSSEC updates may take time to propagate. Si you recently added, removed, o changed DS recods, please wait fo DNS propagation i check again later. Si the issue continues, please contact suppot i provide el teu domini name, current nameservers, i DS recod.
8. Can DNSSEC cause my website to stop woking? Sí, if DNSSEC is incorectly configured. Common causes include:
Wrong DS recod
Old DS recod after nameserver change
Missing DNSKEY
DNS provider not publishing DNSSEC recods corectly
Caducad o invalid DNSSEC signatures
Si el teu website stops woking after DNSSEC changes, please contact suppot immediately.
9. Should I remove DNSSEC befoe changing nameservers? In many cases, yes. Si you are moving to a new DNS provider i you are not sure how to migrate DNSSEC safely, removing the old DS recod befoe changing nameservers can reduce the risk of DNSSEC validation failure. After the new nameservers are active i DNSSEC is enabled at the new DNS provider, you can add the new DS recod again.
10. What should I do if I see pFailure to get DNSSEC infoq? This usually means the system could not retrieve valid DNSSEC infomation fo the domini. Please check:
Whether DNSSEC is enabled
Whether the DS recod has been added
Whether the nameservers suppot DNSSEC
Whether the DS recod matches the DNSKEY
Whether you recently changed nameservers
Si you are not sure, please contact NiceNIC suppot i provide el teu domini name i DNSSEC details from el teu DNS provider.
