Migrating DNS zones from Yandex 360 to Yandex Cloud DNS
If your domain is delegated to Yandex 360 and your services are hosted in Yandex Cloud, you can transfer domain control to Yandex Cloud DNS servers and migrate DNS zones to Yandex Cloud DNS for more convenience. Yandex Cloud DNS is closely integrated with other Yandex Cloud services (such as Yandex Compute Cloud).
To migrate DNS zones from Yandex 360 to Yandex Cloud DNS:
Delegate the domain name
Before transferring DNS zones to Yandex Cloud DNS control, you need to delegate your domain to Yandex Cloud servers. To do this, specify the addresses of Yandex Cloud name servers in the NS records of your registrar:
ns1.yandexcloud.net.ns2.yandexcloud.net.
Transfer records
You can only move your domain's DNS records from Yandex 360 to Yandex Cloud DNS manually.
Before that, create a public DNS zone for your domain's DNS records.
- Create a new record of the appropriate type.
- In the Data field, enter the value of the Yandex 360 record to be transferred in the original format.
- In the TTL (in seconds) field, enter the value of the TTL parameter from Yandex 360.
Example:
| Yandex 360 | Cloud DNS |
|---|---|
Record type: CNAMERecord value: domain.mail.yandex.net.TTL: 600 |
Type: CNAMEData: domain.mail.yandex.net.TTL (in seconds): 600 |
- Create a new MX record.
- In the Data field, specify the parameters of the Yandex 360 MX record for transfer in
<priority> <record value>format. - In the TTL (in seconds) field, enter the value of the TTL parameter from Yandex 360.
Example:
| Yandex 360 | Cloud DNS |
|---|---|
Record type: MXRecord value: mx.yandex.net.Priority: 10TTL: 21600 |
Type: MXData: 10 mx.yandex.net.TTL (in seconds): 21600 |
-
In the Data field, specify the parameters of the Yandex 360 TXT record for transfer in
"<record_value>"format.Warning
Cloud DNS uses MASTER FILES format when parsing TXT records. According to the format specification,
;marks the beginning of the comment, i.e., all content that comes after it is ignored. To use the;character and spaces in the record value, enclose them in double quotes,"". -
In the TTL (in seconds) field, enter the value of the TTL parameter from Yandex 360.
Example:
| Yandex 360 | Cloud DNS |
|---|---|
Record type: TXTRecord value: v=DMARC1; p=none;sp=quarantine; pct=100;rua=mailto: dmarcreports@example.com;TTL: 26000 |
Type: TXTData: "v=DMARC1; p=none;sp=quarantine; pct=100;rua=mailto: dmarcreports@example.com;"TTL (in seconds): 26000 |
- Copy all the characters after
SRVfrom the Yandex 360 SRV record. For example, copy only0 5 5060 _sip._tcp.example.com.from86400 IN SRV 0 5 5060 _sip._tcp.example.com.. - Create a new SRV record.
- In the Data field, enter the characters you copied.
- In the TTL (in seconds) field, enter the value of the TTL parameter from Yandex 360.
Example:
| Yandex 360 | Cloud DNS |
|---|---|
Record type: SRVRecord value: 86400 IN SRV 0 5 5060 _sip._tcp.example.com.Priority: 0TTL: 86400 |
Type: SRVData: 0 5 5060 _sip._tcp.example.com.TTL (in seconds): 86400 |
Wait for the changes to take effect. It may take the DNS servers up to 72 hours to exchange data about new DNS records on the internet.
