Domains
Managing a domain
Renewal, auto-renew, DNS records, nameservers and the transfer lock.
Domains you bought through Dunea are listed on the Domains page (your profile at the bottom of the left sidebar, then Domains). Open one to see its tabs:
| Tab | What it is for |
|---|---|
| Overview | Status, the site it points to, and the next renewal date |
| DNS | The records that point your domain at your site, and at other services |
| Email forwarding, for example hello@yourdomain to your Gmail | |
| SSL | The security certificate that shows the padlock in the browser |
| Deployment | Which of your sites the domain opens |
| Billing | Renewal payments |
| Registrar | Ownership details and the transfer lock |
Renewal
Domains are paid for a year at a time. Under Next renewal you see the date and whether Auto-renew is ON. Leave auto-renew on so your domain cannot expire by accident. To pay early, press Renew now.
Do not let a domain expire
When a domain expires your site stops opening on it, and after a while someone else can buy the name. Keep auto-renew on and your card up to date.
DNS records
Dunea adds the records your site needs for you. You only need the DNS tab to connect other services, such as a Google Workspace or Zoho mailbox, or to verify your domain with Google Search Console. Do not delete the records Dunea created, or your site stops loading.
Moving a domain away
Domains are protected by a Transfer lock so nobody can move them without you. To move a domain to another provider, open the domain, find Transfer lock and press Get transfer code, then give the code to the new provider. If you change your mind, Changed my mind — re-lock the domain locks it again.
