Modify DNS zone (expert mode)
This guide is for individuals who want to manually edit the DNS zone of an Infomaniak domain name in expert mode.
If you are a beginner, prefer the simple mode.
Prerequisites
- own a domain name from Infomaniak or at least a DNS zone
Edit the DNS zone (expert mode)
To access the advanced management of the DNS zone for a domain name managed by Infomaniak:
- log in to the Infomaniak Manager (manager.infomaniak.com) from a web browser like Brave or Firefox
- click on the icon at the top right of the interface (or navigate using the left side menu, for example)
- choose Domains (in the Web & Domain universe)
- click directly on the name of the relevant object in the displayed table
- click on DNS Zone in the left side menu
- click on Expert Mode:
The syntax is accepted in BIND format.
The DNS zone presented here is valid and used only if the server names are those of Infomaniak. Any modification may take up to 48 hours to propagate.
Restore a DNS Zone
With the Expert Mode, you can use versioning to retrieve a previous version of the DNS zone for your domain name and restore it to how it was at a specific moment:
- once in the Expert Mode tab (see above), click on Current Version to display the menu containing previous dates:
- click on the desired date to get a preview of the changes
- click on the blue Save button on the right to revert to the chosen version
- click on the second dropdown if necessary to access the restoration of delegated subdomains configuration
DNS Diagnostic
A tool available on your Manager allows you to easily correct certain problematic records.
