• How to restore DNS records
• Frequently asked questions

The DNS history records contain information about exactly when a DNS record was set (row-add), changed (row-update), or deleted (row-delete). You can also find the original data of overwritten or deleted DNS records here and use this information to restore them.

Follow these steps to list the DNS record history:

1. Log into the customer administration panel.
2. In the navigation bar, select DNS.
3. Choose the domain whose DNS you want to examine.
4. In the left menu, select History of Changes.

The DNS records listed here have the following format:

name (if it exists)|typ|ttl|data

Unfortunately, there is no automatic record recovery. However, you can find any change in the history (row-update or row-delete), copy the original data and edit or create the correct DNS record according to the DNS – Domain Records instructions.

After opening the DNS record change history, follow these steps:

1. Click the magnifying glass icon to open a detail of the updated or deleted record.
2. Copy the data part of the record (after the last | character).
3. Create or edit the corresponding DNS record.

Question: How do I find out who made the changes?
Answer: If you see a lot of changes at once, it could be an automatic DNS setting by our system, for example directing a domain to a service, or setting up a new service with DNS modification checked. If authorized users have access to the DNS, you can ask customer support via the contact form to investigate.
