Cloud / DNS platform

How to change DNS records at Vercel

Frontend hosting platform that also sells domains and runs DNS.

Where the DNS settings live

  1. Open the Vercel dashboard and go to Domains (team-level).
  2. Click the domain, then the DNS Records tab.

Adding a record

  1. Fill in the Name (blank for the root), Type and Value in the form.
  2. Click Add.

Editing or deleting a record

  1. Use the three-dot menu on the record row to edit or delete it.

Changing the nameservers

  1. To use Vercel DNS, set ns1.vercel-dns.com and ns2.vercel-dns.com at your registrar.
  2. To keep DNS elsewhere, add an A record for the root pointing at 76.76.21.21 and a CNAME for www to cname.vercel-dns.com.

Vercel nameservers

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

  • ns1.vercel-dns.com
  • ns2.vercel-dns.com

Gotchas at Vercel

  • Vercel shows the exact records it wants under the project's Domains tab — copy those rather than guessing.
  • Verification TXT records must stay in place for as long as the domain is attached.

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.
