After creating a DNS Zone, you need to update your domain’s nameservers at your registrar to point to Bunny DNS. This page shows you where to find your nameserver details and how to configure custom nameservers.

​
Default nameservers

Bunny DNS uses the following nameservers:
  • kiki.bunny.net
  • coco.bunny.net
To view your nameservers, go to DNS, select your DNS Zone, then click Nameservers in the zone menu. With the bunny CLI, run bunny dns zones nameservers example.com to show them (custom nameservers if enabled, otherwise the defaults above).

​
Update nameservers at your registrar

To activate Bunny DNS for your domain, update the nameserver records at your domain registrar:
  1. Log in to your domain registrar
  2. Find the domain management or DNS settings
  3. Replace existing nameservers with kiki.bunny.net and coco.bunny.net
  4. Save the changes
You can verify the delegation has taken effect with the CLI, which does a live nameserver lookup:
If the registrar already delegates to Bunny DNS it confirms; otherwise it shows the nameservers to set at your registrar, naming the registrar when it can detect it.
DNS propagation can take up to 48 hours, though changes typically take effect within a few hours.

​
Custom nameservers

Custom nameservers let you use your own domain for nameservers instead of the default bunny.net domain. This is useful for white-labeling or branding purposes. To configure custom nameservers:
  1. Go to DNS and select your DNS Zone
  2. Click Nameservers
  3. Enable Custom nameservers
  4. Enter your custom nameserver hostnames
  5. Click Save Configuration

​
Glue records

When using custom nameservers, you need to create glue records at your domain registrar. Glue records provide the IP addresses for your nameservers, preventing circular dependencies. The nameserver IP addresses are displayed in the configuration panel:
Before changing nameservers, make sure the appropriate DNS or glue records have been set correctly on the domain. Misconfigured records can leave your domain unreachable.

​
SOA configuration

The SOA (Start of Authority) record contains administrative information about your zone. You can configure the contact email address in the nameserver settings.
