There are three ways to point a domain you own at a Stackryze service. This page picks the right one for you. Delegate the entire zone to Stackryze’s nameservers. We host every record type and you manage everything from one dashboard.
  • Best for: most users, full feature set (DNSSEC, modern records, API).
  • Trade-off: you can no longer use your registrar’s DNS UI.
  • Steps: see Add a custom domain.

​
Option B — Subdomain only (CNAME)

Keep the apex at your registrar and point a single subdomain (app.example.com) at Stackryze via a CNAME. 
app.example.com.  300  IN  CNAME  edge.stackryze.net.
  • Best for: only one service needs Stackryze, or you want to keep your registrar’s DNS UI for everything else.
  • Trade-off: DNSSEC signing has to happen at your registrar.

​
Option C — A-record forwarding

Point an A record at one of Stackryze’s anycast IPs. 
app.example.com.  300  IN  A  192.0.2.10
  • Best for: static frontends, single-service domains.
  • Trade-off: you manage the IP rotation if we change infrastructure.
Pros: full feature set, DNSSEC, modern record types, audit log, API.Cons: leaves your registrar’s DNS UI.
Not sure? Start with full delegation — it’s reversible in two clicks from your registrar, and unlocks every Stackryze feature.
