How to change DNS records at Google Cloud DNS

Where the DNS settings live

1. Open the Google Cloud console and go to Network Services → Cloud DNS.
2. Click the zone name.

Adding a record

1. Click Add standard (or Add record set).
2. Enter the DNS name prefix, choose the Resource record type, set the TTL.
3. Enter the value and click Create.

Editing or deleting a record

1. Click the record set, then Edit, change it, and Save.
2. Tick the record set and click Delete to remove.

Changing the nameservers

1. Copy the zone's four NS values into your registrar.

Google Cloud DNS nameservers

These are the values you would set at your registrar to let Google Cloud DNS run your DNS. Always confirm them in your own account — several providers assign per-account values.

• Four assigned per zone, e.g. ns-cloud-a1.googledomains.com

After you save

DNS changes are not instant. Resolvers keep the old answer until the previous record's TTL expires, so a record with a 4-hour TTL can take 4 hours to change everywhere — occasionally longer if an ISP ignores TTLs. Check what the world currently sees before assuming something is broken, and see the troubleshooting page if it still looks wrong after the TTL has passed.
