Alibaba Cloud DNS:Modify DNS records

Last Updated:Nov 07, 2023

You can use either of the following methods to modify the Domain Name System (DNS) records of your built-in authoritative zone based on your business requirements:

Method 1: The settings of Record Type, Hostname, and Request Line cannot be modified. You can only modify the settings of Record Value, TTL, and Weight (for domain names in the acceleration zone). In this case, you can modify the record values for the DNS records that have the same settings of Record Type, Hostname, and Request Line at a time.

Method 2: You can modify the settings of Record Type, Hostname, Request Line, Record Value, TTL, and Weight (for domain names in the acceleration zone) of a single DNS record.

Method 1

  1. Log on to the Alibaba Cloud DNS console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Private DNS (PrivateZone). On the page that appears, click Configuration Mode in the upper-right corner, click the Built-in Authoritative Module tab, and then click the User Defined Zones tab.

  3. Find the desired zone and click Resource Records Settings in the Actions column.

  4. On the Resource Records Settings page, find the DNS record that you want to modify and click Edit in the Actions column.

Note

The modification of the DNS record for a domain name in the regular zone takes effect only after the TTL expires. The modification of the DNS record for a domain name in the acceleration zone takes effect immediately.
