Managing DNS

The DNS tab shows the DNS records of your domain. Usually you do not need to do anything here: Qsite keeps the records for your site and your mail right by itself, also when something is missing at night.

  • Quick set-up: switch Qsite website, Qsite mail, Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace on or off with one click. Only one service can receive your mail; choose Microsoft 365 or Google and the mail records of Qsite go.
  • The records of Qsite are locked. If you want one to be different, switch the preset off.
  • With Add record you add a record of your own, for example a TXT record to verify your domain with Google, or a CNAME for a booking system. @ is the domain itself, www the address www.yourdomain.
  • Under Changes of the last 30 days you undo a change.

A change is usually visible everywhere within an hour.

How do I add a DNS record, for example to verify my domain?

Go to Domains, open the domain and choose the DNS tab. Click Add record, choose the type (often TXT), fill in the name (@ is the domain itself) and the value you were given, and save. It is usually visible everywhere within an hour. Records of Qsite are locked; Qsite keeps them right by itself.

Can I use Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace for the mail on my domain?

Yes. Go to Domains, open the domain, choose the DNS tab and switch Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace on under Quick set-up. The mail records of Qsite then go, as only one service can receive your mail. Your website stays on Qsite.

Can I move my domain name to Qsite?

Yes, for free. Ask your current provider for the transfer code and to unlock the domain. Then under Domains click Move a domain to Qsite, fill in the domain and the code, and choose whether the current DNS comes along. A .nl usually moves within an hour, a .com up to five days. You pay for the domain from its next renewal date.
