Changed behavior for AXFR transfers: SOA entries with @ sign are no longer accepted

Tuesday, February 15, 2022

Due to a change in our name server software, it will no longer be possible to use the @ character in SOA records in the future. In most cases, the @ character should not be used in SOA records anyway. However, as a precaution, we would like to inform users with Secondary DNS setups that AXFR transfers to our name server are not possible when using @ characters in the SOA record.

If you use external nameservers for your domains or manage your domains exclusively via the customer area on our website, this change will not affect you.
