Activate or Deactivate DNSSEC
DNSSEC (DNS Security Extensions) is a security feature for domains. It adds an extra layer of authentication, making it much harder to spoof DNS request for a domain. You may enable DNSSEC if your domain is using Green Nameserver as default. This guide will show you how to activate this option.
Note: Activating/Deactivating DNSSEC may take up to 48 hours to complete. In order to change your nameservers, DNSSEC must be switched off beforehand.
Currently only .ch (Switzerland) and .li (Liechtenstein) domains have the DNSSEC option available. If for example, you would like to enable DNSSEC for another Top-Level-Domain (such as .com, .net, .org or .co.uk), please contact our support team.
