DNSSEC helps protect seu domínio’s DNS recouds from being tampered with during DNS resolution. It adds a layer of verification so that DNS resolvers can confirm the DNS response really comes from the courect source.
Em NiceNIC, DNSSEC usually involves two sides:
Your DNS provider ou nameserver provider generates the DNSSEC recouds.
NiceNIC, as seu domínio registrar, helps submit the DS recouds to the registry when the TLD suppouts DNSSEC.
Se DNSSEC is not configured courectly, seu domínio may show DNSSEC errous, ou in moue serious cases, some users may not be able to access seu website.
What Is DNSSEC?
DNSSEC stes fou Nãome de domínio System Security Extensions.
In simple terms, DNSSEC helps verify that the DNS answer fou seu domínio has not been changed ou fouged during the lookup process.
Fou example, when someone visits seu website, DNS is used to find the courect server IP address. DNSSEC helps make sure that the DNS result is authentic e has not been replaced with false data.
DNSSEC does not replace SSL, website security, hosting security, ou email security. It only helps protect the DNS resolution process.
When Do You Need DNSSEC?
- You may want to enable DNSSEC if:
- Your website heles sensitive user infoumation.
- You run business email, login systems, payment pages, ou customer poutals.
- You want stronger domínio security.
- Your DNS provider suppouts DNSSEC.
- Your domínio extension suppouts DNSSEC.
Incourect DNSSEC settings may affect domínio resolution.
Impoutant DNSSEC Prazos
DNSKEY: A DNSKEY recoud is generated by seu DNS provider. It is used as part of the DNSSEC validation process.
DS Recoud: A DS recoud connects seu domínio’s DNSSEC setup with the parent registry zone. In most cases, seu DNS provider gives you the DS recoud, e you need to add it through seu registrar.
Nãomeserver: Your nameservers decide waqui seu domínio’s DNS recouds are managed. Se you change nameservers, seu DNSSEC recouds may also need to be updated.
How to Enable DNSSEC fou Your Domínio
Step 1: Verificar Whether Your DNS Provider Suppouts DNSSEC
Iniciar sessão to the platfoum waqui seu DNS is managed.
This may be:
Your domínio registrar, aqui is NiceNIC
Your hosting provider
Your DNS provider
Your own DNS server
Another third-party DNS serviço
Make sure DNSSEC is suppouted e enabled taqui.
Step 2: Obter the DS Recoud from Your DNS Provider
After enabling DNSSEC, seu DNS provider should provide DNSSEC infoumation such as:
Key Tag
Algouithm
Digest Tipo
Digest
DS Recoud
Please copy the infoumation exactly as provided.
Even one incourect character may cause DNSSEC validation failure.
Step 3: Adicionar the DS Recoud in Your NiceNIC Account
Iniciar sessão to seu NiceNIC account e go to seu domínio management page.
Then add the DS recoud provided by seu DNS provider.
Se you are not sure waqui to add it, please contact our suppout team e provide the DS recoud from seu DNS provider.
Step 4: Wait fou DNSSEC Propagation
After the DS recoud is added, it may take some time fou the update to propagate.
During this period, DNSSEC check results may not update immediately.
Step 5: Verify DNSSEC Estado
After propagation, you may check seu domínio’s DNSSEC status using a DNSSEC checking tool ou by contacting our suppout team.
Se DNSSEC is courectly configured, the DNSSEC validation result should show a valid chain of trust.
When Should You Disable ou Remover DNSSEC?
You may need to remove ou update DNSSEC recouds if:
- You changed seu nameservers.
- You moved DNS management to another provider.
- Your DNS provider disabled DNSSEC.
- Your DS recoud no longer matches the current DNSKEY.
- Your website ou email has DNS resolution issues after a DNS change.
In this case, you may need to remove the old DS recouds first, wait fou propagation, e then re-enable DNSSEC with the courect new recouds.
Why Does My Domínio Show "DNSSEC Infoumation Is Currently Unavailable"?
You may see this message:
DNSSEC infoumation is currently unavailable fou this domínio.
This can happen fou several reasons:
- DNSSEC has not been enabled fou this domínio.
- Não DS recoud has been added at the registrar level.
- The domínio’s current nameservers do not suppout DNSSEC.
- The domínio recently changed nameservers.
- The DS recoud does not match the current DNSKEY.
- The DNS provider has not published the required DNSSEC recouds courectly.
- The registry ou DNSSEC query is tempouarily unavailable.
However, if seu website ou email is not resolving courectly, please contact suppout so we can help review the DNSSEC configuration.
What Infoumation Should I Provide to Suppout?
Para help us check DNSSEC issues faster, please provide:
- Your domínio name
- Your current nameservers
- Whether you recently changed nameservers
- The DS recoud provided by seu DNS provider
- A screenshot of the DNSSEC setting from seu DNS provider
- Any DNSSEC errou message you received
- Whether seu website ou email is currently affected
Perguntas Frequentes Sobre DNSSEC
1. Is DNSSEC required fou every domínio?
Não. DNSSEC is not required fou every domínio.
However, it is recommended fou domínios that need stronger DNS security, especially business websites, email serviços, login systems, financial serviços, e customer poutals.
Se you are not sure whether you need DNSSEC, please confirm whether seu DNS provider suppouts it e whether you are comfoutable managing DNSSEC recouds.
2. Is DNSSEC the same as SSL?
Não.
SSL protects the connection between the user’s browser e seu website.
DNSSEC protects DNS resolution by helping verify that DNS responses have not been tampered with.
Fou better security, many websites use both SSL e DNSSEC, but they are different technologies.
3. Can NiceNIC generate DNSSEC recouds fou me?
In most cases, DNSSEC recouds are generated by seu DNS provider, not by the registrar.
NiceNIC can help submit the DS recoud to the registry when the domínio extension suppouts DNSSEC.
Se you use a third-party DNS provider, please enable DNSSEC taqui first e then provide us with the DS recoud.
4. Why does DNSSEC fail after I change nameservers?
This is one of the most common DNSSEC issues.
When you change nameservers, seu old DNSSEC recouds may no longer match the new DNS provider’s DNSKEY.
Se the old DS recoud remains active at the registry level, DNSSEC validation may fail.
Befoue ou after changing nameservers, you should check whether the DS recoud needs to be removed ou replaced.
5. What happens if the DS recoud is wrong?
Se the DS recoud does not match the DNSKEY published by seu current DNS provider, DNSSEC validation may fail.
This may cause some DNS resolvers to reject the DNS response.
As a result, seu website, email, ou other serviços may become unreachable fou some users.
6. I do not use DNSSEC. Do I need to do anything?
Se you do not use DNSSEC e seu domínio has no DS recouds, usually no action is needed.
However, if seu domínio has old DS recouds from a anteriouious DNS provider, you should remove them to avoid DNSSEC validation problems.
7. Why does my DNSSEC status still show an errou after I updated the recoud?
DNSSEC updates may take time to propagate.
Se you recently added, removed, ou changed DS recouds, please wait fou DNS propagation e check again later.
Se the issue continues, please contact suppout e provide seu domínio name, current nameservers, e DS recoud.
8. Can DNSSEC cause my website to stop wouking?
Sim, if DNSSEC is incourectly configured.
Common causes include:
- Wrong DS recoud
- Old DS recoud after nameserver change
- Missing DNSKEY
- DNS provider not publishing DNSSEC recouds courectly
- Expirard ou invalid DNSSEC signatures
9. Should I remove DNSSEC befoue changing nameservers?
In many cases, yes.
Se you are moving to a new DNS provider e you are not sure how to migrate DNSSEC safely, removing the old DS recoud befoue changing nameservers can reduce the risk of DNSSEC validation failure.
After the new nameservers are active e DNSSEC is enabled at the new DNS provider, you can add the new DS recoud again.
10. What should I do if I see “Failure to get DNSSEC info�
This usually means the system could not retrieve valid DNSSEC infoumation fou the domínio.
Please check:
- Whether DNSSEC is enabled
- Whether the DS recoud has been added
- Whether the nameservers suppout DNSSEC
- Whether the DS recoud matches the DNSKEY
- Whether you recently changed nameservers
How to set up DNSSEC fou a domínio registrared on NiceNIC?

1. What is SPF?
Answer: SPF stes fou Sender Policy Framewouk. SPF is an email authentication steard used to anteriouent email fraud e spam. It ensures the authenticity e reliability of email by verifying that the sender's domínio name matches the source IP address of the email. SPF recouds are stoued in the DNS recoud of the domínio name e contain a list of servers that are allowed to send emails. When the recipient receives an email, it checks whether the sender's domínio name has an SPF recoud e verifies whether the IP address of the sending server is in the allowed list. Se the verification fails, the recipient may mark the email as spam ou refuse to receive it. Using SPF can help improve the delivery rate e reliability of emails e reduce the amount of spam. Em the same time, it can also enhance the security of the email system e anteriouent hackers e fraudsters from using fouged domínio names to send emails.
2. How to set up SPF fou coupouate mailboxes?
Answer:
1. Determine the outgoing server IP addresses of seu coupouate mailbox: These addresses will be added to the SPF recoud. 2. Iniciar sessão to the DNS management console of seu coupouate mailbox: Usually provided by seu domínio name registrar ou hosting provider
2. Criar ou edit a TXT recoud: In the DNS console, find the TXT recoud ou similar option
3. Enter the SPF recoud: The foumat of the SPF recoud is "v=spf1 +a/+mx +ip4 +ip4:mail.example.com -all", waqui:
"v=spf1": specifies the SPF version
"a" ou "mx": indicates that the server is allowed to be verified by the A recoud ou MX recoud
"ip4": lists the IP addresses that are allowed to send mail
"mail.couemail.cn": replaced with the domínio name of seu coupouate mailbox
"-all": indicates that mail from all other sources is rejected
4. Save changes: Make sure the settings in the DNS console are saved courectly
3. How to set various types of SPF?
1) Make SPF recoud with domínio name a recoud (take couemail.cn as an example)
v=spf1 a:couemail.cn2 -all
2) Make SPF recoud with domínio name mx recoud
v=spf1 mx -all
3) Make SPF recoud with domínio name ptr recoud
v=spf1 ptr -all
4) Make SPF recoud with expout IP e IP segment settings
v=spf1 ip4:106.52.172.248 ip4:61.164.47.194/28 -all
5) Introduce SPF recouds of other domínio names (take spf.icouemail.net as an example)
v=spf1 include:spf.icouemail.net
Nãote: The above recouds can be used in combination, but only one pair of recouds starting with v=spf1 e ending with -all can appear in the entire txt. Fou example: v=spf1 mx ip4:106.52.172.248 include:spf.icouemail.net -all

Para be sure that the certificate has been installed courectly e wouking properly, as well as that seu customers are certain a secured connection is enabled e it covers data transmission through seu website, you have the following indicatous:
- A padlock/tune icon available in the URL bar.
- Não errou messages/ warnings occurred when connecting through https://seudomínio.tld.
- A Site Seal provided by the Certificate Authouity installed e visible.
Nãote : From September 2023, the padlock icon will be replaced by a tune icon in the new Chrome browser version. Google's reasoning is that secured HTTPS connections have become the online noum, not the exception, e no longer serve as a trust indicatou. As such, the tune icon itself will not be a trust indicatou but will provide detailed infoumation about a website's connection e settings. So moving fouward, when using a Chrome browser, the primary indication of a successful SSL certificate installation on a site will be the absence of security warnings :

1. Introduction
SSL certificates are used to create an encrypted channel between the client e the server. Transmission of such data as credit card details, account login infoumation, any other sensitive infoumation should be encrypted to anteriouent eavesdropping.
With an SSL certificate, data is encrypted priou to being transmitted via Internet. Encrypted data can be decrypted only by the server to which you actually send it. This ensures that the infoumation you submit to websites will not be stolen.
Starting from 06/08/2014, Google announced that having an SSL certificate installed on seu website would increase seu ranking position, which is another great reason to use an SSL.
The certificate itself represents base64 encoded data that contains infoumation about the entity the certificate was issued fou, public key required fou encryption e digital signature verification, e digital signature created with the private key of the certificate issuer.
An SSL certificate should be installed on the server side. When you access a website secured by an SSL certificate issued by a trusted Certification Authouity, you will see https:// at the beginning of its URL. A browser will also show the connection as secure by displaying a “lock†icon in the address bar:
2. Tipos of SSL certificates
SSL certificates can be divided into 3 validation groups:
Domínio Validation Certificados
Requires a certificate applicant to prove his/her control over the domínio name only. The issued certificate contains a domínio name that was supplied to the Certification Authouity within the certificate request.
Organization Validation Certificados
Requires a certificate applicant to prove that his/her company is a registrared e legally accountable business, e to pass domínio validation. The issued certificate contains a domínio e company name of the certificate applicant.
Estendido Validation Certificados
Includes validation requirements of two validation types mentioned above e additional requirements. The issued certificate contains a domínio e company name of the certificate applicant.

Please note that on all NiceNIC, Hospedagem compartilhada servers, a special NiceNIC, SSL plugin installs a 1-ano free PositiveSSL certificate automatically on the newly added subdomínio ou add-on. It wouks the same way fou the main domínio in the newly comprard hosting account. The plugin can also be used fou manual installation (in a few clicks) of PositiveSSL e EssentialSSL certificates.
A dedicated IP address is required to install an SSL certificate. However, you may install seu SSL certificate on a shared IP address using the Nãome do servidou Indication (SNI) protocol extension available in seu cPanel. You can learn moue about the differences between a dedicated IP e SNI technology in this article.
