Configure DNS balancing

For your information

We have released new version of DNS hosting (actual) and are discontinuing support and development of legacy version (legacy). Domains and resource records in DNS hosting (legacy) continue to work, we will warn you in advance if they are discontinued.

We recommend move domains and resource records to DNS hosting (actual) now to avoid disruption of sites when DNS hosting (legacy) goes down.

If you registered after January 30, only DNS hosting (actual) is available to you.

To distribute requests to a site across multiple servers, you can create additional A-records with the IP addresses of the servers. We recommend using no more than 5-10 A-notes at a time.

The IP address to which the request will be routed is determined using Round Robin, a round-robin algorithm. The first request is passed to the first IP address in the A-record list, then the next request is passed 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

  1. In Control Panel, go to DNS.
  2. Open the zone page.
  3. From the menu of the A-record group, select Edit.
  4. Press Add Value
  5. Enter a value.
  6. Click Save.
  7. Wait for the resource record to propagate to the DNS servers. Propagation time can take from TTL group to 72 hours. The TTL of the resource record group can be viewed in control panel under DNS on the zone page.
  8. Optional: check resource record. If the resource record has not appeared on the DNS servers 72 hours after creation, create a ticket.
