DNSSEC on Web Hosting DNS Panel

Topic

My web host’s DNS management panel has an “Enable DNSSEC” button at the end of my list of DNS records. Do I need to do anything with this?

Thanks!

DNSSEC is only needed if you are worried about DNS poisoning of your records. If you were MS you would turn it on, as a tiny site it’s probably of little value.

When DNSSEC is the default (not currently) your host will probably turn it on for you.

As always, set up a site monitor to check your site is up / posting the correct information. Plenty of free monitors out there.

cheers, Paul
