# Point Domain to Stackryze

> Three ways to point an existing domain at a Stackryze-hosted service.

There are three ways to point a domain you own at a Stackryze service. This page picks the right one for you.

## Option A — Full delegation (recommended)

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](/guides/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`.

```dns theme={null}
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.

```dns theme={null}
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: surgical, keeps your registrar's DNS UI as source of truth.

    Cons: no DNSSEC for the subdomain.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="A-record forwarding" icon="route">
    Pros: works anywhere, no registrar cooperation needed.

    Cons: you own IP maintenance.

<Tip>
  Not sure? Start with **full delegation** — it's reversible in two clicks from your registrar, and unlocks every Stackryze feature.
