DNS Management Overview

Quant provides a comprehensive DNS management system that gives you complete control over your domain’s DNS records while seamlessly integrating with CDN services. Whether you’re managing a single domain or complex multi-domain infrastructures, Quant’s DNS management streamlines domain configuration and automates certificate provisioning.

Key Features

Full DNS Control Quant’s DNS management system provides enterprise-grade DNS hosting with global distribution and high availability. You can manage all standard DNS record types including A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SRV, CAA, PTR, and ALIAS records with flexible TTL settings and priority configurations.

CDN Integration Mode When you enable CDN integration for a DNS zone, Quant automatically handles all the technical complexity of domain setup:

• Automatic TLS Certificate Provisioning: SSL/TLS certificates are automatically requested, validated, and renewed
• DNS Record Creation: Required DNS records for traffic routing are created automatically
• Zero-Touch Domain Management: Simply add domains to your projects and everything else is handled automatically

Hierarchical Zone Management Create organized DNS structures with sub-zones that automatically configure proper delegation:

• Automatic NS Record Creation: When you create sub-zones, parent zone NS records are automatically configured
• Delegation Management: Proper DNS delegation is handled seamlessly
• Scalable Organization: Ideal for managing complex domain structures and multiple subdomains

DNS Hosted Zones Dashboard

The DNS Management Dashboard provides a centralized view of all your hosted zones with key metrics:

• Total Zones: Complete count of all DNS zones under management
• CDN Integrated: Number of zones with automatic CDN integration enabled
• Active Zones: Currently active and responding DNS zones
• Zone Status Tracking: Real-time status monitoring for all hosted zones

Each DNS zone displays essential information including:

• Zone ID: Unique identifier for API and automation purposes
• Record Count: Total number of DNS records in the zone
• Creation Date: When the zone was first configured
• CDN Status: Whether automatic CDN integration is enabled
• Nameservers: Authoritative nameservers for the zone
