Enable DNSSEC to get DS records for your registrar and update a domain's SOA email and name server on Vultr DNS.

DNS Zones contain domain mapping information and essential DNS data associated with specific resources. Managing DNS Zone settings enables the activation of SOA (State of Authority) information and DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) on a domain.

Follow this guide to manage domain DNS Zones using Vultr DNS, the Vultr Console, API, CLI, or Terraform.

Navigate to Products, expand the Network group and click DNS to view all domains in your account.
Click your target domain to manage its DNS records.
Navigate to the Zone Settings tab.
Toggle the DNSSEC Settings status option to Enabled to generate a new DNS key and DS Records with cryptographic keys to submit to your domain registrar.
Replace ns1.vultr.com with your primary name server if available and enter your domain administrator email address in the E-mail Address field.
Click Update SOA Record to apply the domain SOA Information.
