Domain delegation is a prerequisite for using a domain name on the Internet. DNS servers, software and hardware systems (applications) ensure the operability of this condition. Despite the complexity of the name, the process is accessible to a person who does not have the skills of a programmer.
Domain connection - why is it needed?
Suppose that a domain name has already been purchased, for example, domenbk.ru, and there is a desire or need to check mail on other services, such as Yandex. But the question arises: how to use this domain with the following familiar functions:
- App convenience.
- Translate text from one language to another.
- Familiar interface.
- Calendars and storage.
- Secure storage of information.
- Filtering and spam protection.
The first solution is to set up mail forwarding within the hosting. Mail registered under the domain domenbk.ru will be sent to a different address, for example yandex.ru.
The other two options are more difficult. They are appropriate for such cases:
- Creating corporate mailboxes(for each employee, a box of this type is registered: [email protected]).
- For mailing lists from an existing domain, while ensuring that emails that are not detected as spam are delivered.
- To create mailboxes by users who are registered on the portal with an identical domain name.
Connecting mail for business: an example of Yandex hosting
In order to connect a specific position to mail for the Yandex domain, you can use two solutions:
- By confirming the right to own the domain, after which the MX record setting will become available. In this case, DKIM and SRV records are not automatically written.
- Delegation of the domain to "Yandex". In this case, the site will become unavailable for up to three days, so the option is suitable for newly installed domains.
How to delegate a domain?
In order to delegate a domain on Yandex, you need the following:
- Registered domain.
- Yandex account registered at pdd.yandex.ru.yandex.
Domain must be connected to pdd.yandex.ru
Domain that connects has DNS:
- dns1.yandex.net.
- dns2.yandex.net.
After three days, an A-record with an IP address is indicated in pdd.yandex.ruserver.
How to attach a domain?
This method is suitable for hosted domains (the site is already located there). To attach a domain you will need:
- Registered domain.
- Yandex account.
- Entering and connecting a domain in pdd.yandex.ru.
- Confirmation of ownership of it in the following ways: a file is uploaded to the site directory (recommended); CNAME record is added; by changing the address of the mailbox at the registrar; delegation (not suitable for overbought domains).
- Get test results.
- Scribing the MX record.
- Waiting for connection to end (takes up to 72 hours).
- Checking the status of the domain (information about the successful completion of the connection and delegation of the domain is indicated).
Nuances to remember
- When delegated, the site will be blocked for 72 hours, so the method is best used for new domains.
- Attaching MX records activates the DNS editor, but changing this editor does not apply.
- Availability of Yandex functions in mail will become possible after attachment. It is worth noting that three positions are an exception and are limited - these are Yandex. Money, Yandex. Direct, Yandex. Music.
- Mailings within corporate mail are allowed.
Removing a domain from delegation
Hosting has the right to remove this or that domain from delegation. This procedure ignores the specified DNS servers. If the domain is removed from delegation, thenaccess to it is not possible. Both owners and registrar can initiate withdrawals.
The reason that affects the redelegation of a domain may be the fact that the initiator of the withdrawal - the owner - independently sets the UNDELEGATED status for sites and services that need to be disabled.
If the initiator is the registrar, then the withdrawal occurs as a result of the following reasons:
- domain registration expired (domain is blocked for the period specified in the registrar's rules and removed from the registry at the end of it);
- detection of a virus that makes content substitution, resulting in a phishing page;
- do not provide data confirming the right to own the domain;
- DNS servers are not working properly;
- Court decision to annul registration.
The reasons for redelegation are clarified when contacting the technical support of the registrar, if the rules for using hosting established by him are not violated.
In conclusion, it is worth mentioning that the user can independently check the delegation of the domain. Services have been created on the Internet to help find out this information. It is easy to work with them, and the procedure takes only two minutes. The user needs to enter the domain name in the appropriate field and click the "Check" button.
