Domain & DNS

About DNS records
Manage DNS for your domain with A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, TXT, NS and SRV records as well as templates and zone file export in our control panel.
Can I order a domain of a type that you don’t offer?
You can order webhosting and DNS for domains we do not provide, but you must own the domain yourself and point the DNS or name servers to us.
Changing name servers
You can change your domain's name servers in the control panel under DNS → Set name servers, but incorrect configuration can affect web and email.
DNSSEC
DNSSEC is automatically enabled on Simply.com's name servers and can be managed via the control panel, also on other name servers with DS/DNSKEY.
Domain ordering
Order .se/.nu with CVR/CPR, .no with Norwegian org number or personal ID and address, .dk via Punktum waiting list with user and auth ID.
Dynamic DNS (DDNS)
Use our DDNS API at https://ddns.simply.com with HTTP Basic (username=account, password=API key) for automatic updating of A/AAAA records.
Get Auth-ID at Punktum.dk
Log in to Punktum's self‑service, select the domain, click 'Change reseller' and 'GENERATE CODE' to obtain your Auth‑ID.
Hide WHOIS information
After GDPR, Simply.com only shows minimal WHOIS data, you can provide a public email, and .dk domains require address protection.
I can see I own a domain, can I buy it?
We do not sell customers' domains – contact the owner directly or find another available domain.
I have just approved the transfer of my domain, when will it take effect?
After you have approved the domain transfer, it can take 12–48 hours before the domain points to our name servers.
IDN (æøå) domains
IDN domains with æøå are supported in modern browsers, but can cause e‑mail problems, so we recommend using an ASCII domain and forwarding the IDN version.
My web hosting is about to expire, and I only want to keep the domain
Downgrade your expired webhosting plan to a DNS service to retain and manage the domain, but all data will be deleted.
Ordering webhosting and waiting to transfer the domain
Order web hosting from Simply.com, develop on a temporary URL and transfer your domain when you’re ready – even without changing the nameservers immediately.
Ordering webhosting without transferring the domain
You can order web hosting from us without transferring your domain, and later transfer it via the control panel.
Ownership change for .dk domains
Transfer .dk domains and update contact details easily in Simply.com’s control panel – everything is handled by Punktum dk.
Transition to reseller management of .dk domains
From 1 July 2026 .dk domains will be managed by a reseller; transfer yours for free to Simply.com and retain control, DNS and MitID verification.
URL redirect
Redirect your domain's URL via DNS in the control panel or with the .htaccess file on your webhosting.
