How to set up DNSSEC What is DNSSEC?
DNSSEC stands for Domain Name System Security Extensions and it validates responses to DNS queries before they are returned to the client. The client sends a query asking for a particular DNS information with a cryptographic key, and the client’s DNS server retrieves the answer and validates it using another cryptographic key.

Step 2
Once the DNS details page of your domain name loads, you will see an option to turn on and off DNSSEC as shown below. If you are unable to slide the DNSSEC button to enable it, you may need to first become a paid member for $9.99/year.
Step 3
After enabling the DNSSEC option, you will be redirected to the
Zone Settings
page where you are provided instructions on how to add the correspondent DS record with your registrar.
If your domain name is registered with us, go to the Domain Registration settings and check if it has
DNSSEC
icon. If there is, the DS would have been added automatically and you can verify that the DS record has been added for you or add it yourself.
If the domain registration settings do not have DNSSEC, you may open
open a support ticket with the DS record to have the DS record added.
If your domain name is registered with other companies, check with them on how to have the DS record added.
If your current registrar does not allow you to add a DS record, you may transfer your domain name to us to take advantage of our DNSSEC secured dynamic DNS service as well as DNS hosting services.
