Configure DNS balancing
We've released new version of DNS hosting (actual) and stop supporting and developing legacy. Domains and resource records in DNS hosting (legacy) continue to work, we will warn you in advance about their discontinuation.
Recommended transfer domains to DNS hosting (actual) now to avoid disruption of sites when DNS hosting (legacy) is down.
If you registered after January 30, you will only have access to the DNS hosting (actual).
To distribute requests to a site across multiple servers, you can create additional A records with server IP addresses. We recommend using no more than 5-10 A-records at a time.
The IP address to which the request will be forwarded is determined using the Round Robin algorithm, a round-robin algorithm. The first request is forwarded to the first IP address in the A-record list, then the next request is forwarded to the next, and so on to the end of the list. Then the direction of the requests starts over again.
Add an additional A-record
- In control panel go to DNS → Domain zones.
- Open the zone page.
- On the menu. of the A-record group, select Edit.
- Click Add
- Enter a value.
- Click Save.
- Wait for the resource record to propagate to the DNS servers. The propagation time can take from the TTL of the group up to 72 hours. You can view the TTL of a resource record group in control panels under DNS → Domain zones → zone page.
- Optional: check the resource record. If the resource record has not appeared on the DNS servers 72 hours after creation, file a ticket.
