Primary domain record management
Hinweis
In DigiCert® DNS, managed domains (as seen in the UI) are referred to as primary domains in the documentation. Both terms refer to the same concept.
Overview
This guide provides detailed instructions for primary domain record management, covering a series of targeted actions, including:
Benefits
Primary domain record management is essential for efficient DNS management, offering significant time and effort savings by enabling bulk updates across all records associated with the primary domain. This centralized approach allows changes made at the primary domain level to propagate automatically across linked records and helps identify and resolve DNS issues quickly. By leveraging DigiCert® DNS, users experience improved DNS resolution times, enhanced scalability, and simplified policy enforcement. Centralized management makes updating and maintaining DNS settings easier across all associated records, ensuring consistency, reducing the risk of errors, and leading to smoother DNS operations.
