Excloud DNS is an authoritative DNS service. You create a zone for each domain you want Excloud to serve, then add records to that zone. Excloud answers queries from globally distributed nameservers.

The API lives at https://dns.excloud.in; the Terraform provider exposes excloud_dns_zone and excloud_dns_record. You can also manage DNS from the browser console.

Console

  1. Open console.excloud.dev/console/dns.
  2. Click Create DNS Zone.
  3. Enter the domain name, then create the zone.
  4. Open the zone to add records such as A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, and NS.
  5. Copy the assigned nameservers and delegate the domain at your registrar.
