Pointing your DNS to QUIC.cloud¶

If you plan to use QUIC.cloud CDN, you must point your domain's DNS in our direction. You can either do this by updating CNAME records, or by switching to our own QUIC.cloud DNS service.

You should still be looking at the Enable CDN dialog box from the previous step.

For the purposes of this guide we are going to assume you wish to use QUIC.cloud DNS. If this is not the case, please see our DNS documentation for other options.

Select I want to use QUIC.cloud DNS and press Continue.

Import Existing DNS Records to QUIC.cloud¶

QUIC.cloud will attempt to detect your domain's DNS records and import them. Please be patient while it works, and don't close the window during this time.

QUIC.cloud will attempt to detect your current DNS records. This may take a few minutes. Once detection is complete, you will be asked to confirm that your DNS information is correct. Accept all of the detected records, or uncheck any that you no longer need, and click the Add DNS Zone button.

Update Your Nameservers¶

Once your DNS records have been imported into QUIC.cloud, you will need to instruct your domain registrar where to find your DNS records.

QUIC.cloud will attempt to verify that your nameservers are correctly set up at your domain registrar.

Your domain registrar is the the provider you purchased your domain name from. Sometimes this is the same as your hosting provider, but that is not always the case. Make sure that you are in the right place before you change anything!

Log into your domain registrar. Your previous DNS provider's nameservers should still be on file. You'll see them listed under NS1, NS2, and possibly NS3 and NS4 as well.

If your domain is registered with one of these providers, you can click the appropriate link below to follow their instructions for adding custom nameservers:

• Hostinger
• GoDaddy
• Namecheap

If your registrar is not listed above, you'll need to look for the area of their site which allows you to manage Nameservers. It may be called "DNS Zone" or "Manage DNS" or something similar.

Change the NS1 and NS2 records, to match those displayed in the dialog box under Nameservers assigned to your domain. If your domain registrar has additional records (NS3, NS4, etc.) erase those values. You should now only have QUIC.cloud-provided NS records at your domain registrar.

Click the Finish Link Setup and go back to WordPress button.

Verify¶

After the above steps are complete, you can check the status of your domain's DNS with a tool like DNSChecker.org. There are typically delays due to DNS caching, but if your DNS has still not propagated after 24 hours, please open a support ticket and we'll look into it.
