Turn DNSSEC on or off
DNSSEC (Domain Name Security Extensions) uses digital signatures to verify the origin of your DNS across the internet and add extra security to your domains. You'll get 5 free DNSSEC credits in your GoDaddy account, and you can apply them to domains using GoDaddy nameservers. To protect more domains, you can upgrade to Premium DNS for additional DNSSEC credits. We'll manage all your DNSSEC settings for domains using GoDaddy nameservers. If your domain isn't using GoDaddy nameservers, you'll need to manually add DS records.
- Sign in to your GoDaddy Domain Portfolio. (Need help logging in? Find your username or password.)
- Select an individual domain to access the Domain Settings page.
- Select DNS and then select DNSSEC.
- Choose the option that matches your view.
- Select Turn On DNSSEC.
- Enter your email address. This is where we'll send key change notifications.
- Select Save to apply your changes. We'll turn on DNSSEC immediately, but it may take up to 90 minutes to be reflected in your account.
- (Optional) If your domain is using GoDaddy nameservers but is not registered with GoDaddy, you'll need to select
