To update any domain in your Realtime Register account to a Premium DNS-zone, follow the instruction below.

Login to the portal and go to Domains > Domains

1
Lookup the domain you wish to update to a Premium DNS-zone, open it and click Update

2

Scroll down to the Nameserver configuration section of the domain update page and select the DNS-zone option and the Premium DNS-tile

Existing Premium DNS-zone

When you update a domain to for which a Premium DNS-zone already exists in your Realtime Register account, updating the domain to the Premium DNS-zone that already exists in your account is plug and play.

Template option

Important

In case you wish to create a Premium DNS-zone based on a DNS-template during the domain update, you need an existing DNS-template with the records you wish to set in the to be created Premium DNS-zone. In case you do not have a DNS-template with the correct records in it, go to the Create a DNS-template knowledge base article for instructions on how to create a DNS-template

Select the Template option and lookup the DNS-template you wish to use to create the Premium DNS-zone , select it and click Confirm

Master option

Important

In case you wish to create a Premium DNS-zone based on a hidden master, make sure master/slave replication is setup correctly, otherwise the DNS-records cannot be synced from the master nameserver to the to be created Premium DNS-zone. For more information on how master/slave replication is designed in the Realtime Register Premium DNS-services, go to the General documentation knowledge base article for DNS zones

Select the Master option and submit the IP-address of the (hidden) master in the input field, then click Confirm

Click Complete update on the update overview page to complete the update

A message indicating the domain update was successful will be displayed

You've now successfully updated a domain to a premium DNS-zone that was created during the domain update through our portal
