When you register or transfer your domain to Site.eu, we automatically set up default settings for you. Here's the thing - you should keep them on. Let me explain why.
What are default settings anyway?
Think of default settings like having your hosting provider handle all the technical DNS configurations for you. They're automatic settings that make your domain work smoothly without you lifting a finger.
You can check if they're enabled by going to:
- Domain Settings
- Advanced Settings
- Look for the default settings toggle
Why they make your life easier
With Site.eu default settings, our systems handle all the technical stuff. It's like having your domain name's DNS automatically configure itself when you add new services like website builder. Everything just works. This of course only applies if you're using Site.eu services for your domain names.
The best part? You don't need to know what DNS records are or how to configure them. We handle it all behind the scenes.
Should you ever turn them off?
Are you an advanced user who loves tinkering with technical settings? Then yes, you can turn off default settings and take full control.
You'll be able to:
- Set custom DNS records
- Configure DNSSEC records
- Use your own nameservers
But here's the catch - if something goes wrong, your website might stop working. Or your emails might bounce.
Our recommendation
For almost all our customers, we recommend keeping the default Site.eu settings turned on. Why make things complicated when they can be simple?
