One of the first steps after you've registered your .eco domain will be to start using it – for your website, for email, or to forward to another domain name.

To connect these services, you'll need to make updates to the DNS records for the domain.

Make DNS updates at your registrar

Most likely, you'll do this at your registrar – where you registered and paid for your .eco domain. They'll have all of the tools necessary to manage these records and connect your domain to various services (like web hosting or email providers). They can support you in making these changes if you have questions.

...or your DNS service provider

Alternatively, if you're using a third-party to manage the DNS records for your domain, such as AWS Route 53, Cloudflare, Google Cloud, or any other provider, you can make the changes there.

Remember: You must complete your .eco profile before your .eco domain can be used. While you can update DNS records before your domain is activated, the records will not be published.

Need more help?

Your registrar or DNS provider are the best ones to contact about specific updates to your DNS records – they know their systems better than us. However, if you're having trouble, we're always here to help you get started.
