Cloud / DNS platform

How to change DNS records at Netlify

Static hosting platform with optional Netlify DNS.

Where the DNS settings live

  1. In the Netlify dashboard open Domains.
  2. Click the domain to open its DNS panel.

Adding a record

  1. Click Add new record.
  2. Choose the type, enter the name (blank for the root) and value.
  3. Click Save.

Editing or deleting a record

  1. Netlify has no in-place edit — delete the record with OptionsDelete and add a new one.

Changing the nameservers

  1. Netlify assigns four nsone.net nameservers when you add a domain — set those at your registrar.
  2. To keep DNS elsewhere, point the root at Netlify's load balancer IP 75.2.60.5 and www at your site's .netlify.app hostname.

Netlify nameservers

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

  • dns1.p0X.nsone.net through dns4.p0X.nsone.net (assigned)

Gotchas at Netlify

  • The four assigned nameservers differ per domain — never copy them from another site.
  • Netlify DNS must be enabled before it will answer for the zone.

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.
