Edit SOA Record

Warning: If you are not sure about what can be changed in the SOA record, please do not change anything.

The SOA (start of authority) record is the most crucial record in a DNS entry. It conveys more information than all the other records combined. This record is called the start of authority because it denotes the DNS entry as the official source of information for its domain.

Please, enter the SOA record properties. When ready, click the Update button.

Field Name | Description
Retry | The retry period in seconds. It defines, how often a failed attempt to connect should be retried.
Serial number | The serial number, which can be anything as long as it increased each time the record is updated. Note that the serial number will be increased automatically after you save your changes so that the change will take effect. For example, the serial number can consist of the year, the month, the day, and the number of changes (like YYYYMMDDNN).
Minimum TTL | The default minimal time-to-live (TTL) of the data, in seconds. TTL defines how long other name servers should cache, or save, the records containing in a given zone file. For example, the 86400 value corresponds to one day.
Expire | How soon the data should expire if it hasn't been refreshed, in seconds.
Refresh | The frequency with which the data should be checked by a secondary name server, in seconds.
Email | The contact e-mail address for the zone. Note: At your convenience, in the Control Panel interface the dot in the e-mail address (see the example above) is already replaced with the @. So please use @ when indicating a new e-mail address.
