Create, modify, or delete a resource record

Important: Resource records may take 24–48 hours to update across the entire internet. Different internet users may get different results when they try to visit or use your site during that time. Confirm that you save your changes to each altered resource record before you edit the next one.

You can modify your domain’s resource records to add verification, create a subdomain, or change which name servers you direct users to.

Use the Time-To-Live (TTL) field to define how often machines and browsers should update your records.

1. Sign in to Google Domains.
2. Select the domain that you want to change.
3. At the top left, click Menu   DNS.
4. Under “Resource records,” click Custom records Manage records.
   • If you don’t have any resource records yet, click Custom records.
5. For each record set, edit the “Type,” “TTL,” or “Data” fields directly.
   • For examples of how to format entries, check resource record types.
   • To include multiple records with the same Host name, Type, TTL, and Data values at the same time, also known as a resource record set, click Create new record.
   • To remove one data field from a record set, click Remove .
6. You can add or delete more record sets.
   • To add another record, click Create new record  Save.
   • To delete an entire record set, click Delete .
7. Click Save.
8. Confirm that the altered resource record is now visible.

Switch between custom & default name servers

When you registered your domain with Google Domains, you chose the default Google name servers or custom name servers. You can find and change your selection with these steps:

1. On your computer, sign in to Google Domains.
2. Click the domain name.
3. At the top left, click Menu   DNS.
4. At the top of the page, select Default name servers or Custom name servers.
   • Your current setting has “(Active)” next to it.
   • Under “Name servers,” find your listed name server details.
5. Click Switch to these settings.

Add custom name servers

After you set up your resource records through your name server provider, add them to your Google Domain:

1. On your computer, sign in to Google Domains.
2. Click your domain name.
3. At the top left, click Menu   DNS. 
4. At the top of the page, click Custom name servers.
   • Your current setting has “(Active)” next to it.
5. In the “Name Servers” field(s), enter a custom name server. If you can’t find the field(s), at the upper right corner, click Manage Name Servers.
   • Tip: Name servers typically appear like domain names. For example, ns-cloud-e1.googledomains.com.
   • Repeat Step 5 for your second name server.
   • For each name server after the first 2, click +Add another name server.
6. Click Save.
7. If you haven’t added custom name servers before, click Switch to these settings.
