Free DNSSEC with Domain Registration and Domain Transfer
DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) protects your domain from DNS hijacking, cache poisoning, and man-in-the-middle attacks. We include it free with every domain registration and transfer—no hidden fees, no setup complexity.

- No additional cost or technical configuration needed
Domain Security for Businesses That Can't Afford Compromise
Government & Regulated Industries
Organizations required to meet cybersecurity standards and protect sensitive data integrity across any jurisdiction.
Business & Enterprise Domains
Companies registering domains globally who value brand protection, customer trust, and DNS security.
Domain Transfers
Businesses transferring domains who want continuity of protection without configuration headaches.
What DNSSEC Does (And Why It Matters)
DNSSEC adds cryptographic signatures to DNS records, ensuring that visitors reach your actual website—not a fake version controlled by attackers.
❌ Without DNSSEC
Your domain's DNS records can be altered by attackers. Visitors may be redirected to phishing sites, malware pages, or fake login screens—without any visible warning.
✅ With DNSSEC
DNS responses are cryptographically verified. If tampering is detected, the connection fails rather than directing users to a compromised destination.
Real-World Impact
Financial Services
Prevents customers from entering credentials on fake banking sites through DNS redirection attacks.
E-commerce
Stops payment information theft via DNS-based man-in-the-middle attacks.
Government & Healthcare
Maintains data integrity required by compliance frameworks like IHP and HIPAA.
SaaS Platforms
Protects user sessions and API endpoints from DNS spoofing and cache poisoning.
Required by Government and Industry Regulations Worldwide
Multiple regulatory frameworks globally now mandate DNSSEC for organizations handling sensitive data, operating critical infrastructure, or serving government functions.
Global Compliance Examples
- Singapore IHP (Instruction Manual for ICT & Smart Systems): The Cyber Security Agency of Singapore mandates DNSSEC for all Internet-facing government systems. Learn more about IHP requirements
- US Federal Requirements: Many US federal agencies require DNSSEC implementation under cybersecurity directives
- EU Cybersecurity Standards: Organizations in critical sectors must implement DNS security measures
- Financial Services Regulations: Banking and payment processing standards increasingly require DNS integrity protection
- Healthcare Compliance: Patient data protection frameworks require comprehensive security including DNS layer
How We Support Compliance
- DNSSEC enabled by default on supported domains
- DS records automatically published to registry
- Validation tools available in control panel
- Audit documentation and compliance evidence
If your organization falls under regulatory oversight, DNSSEC may be mandatory. We handle the technical implementation so you can focus on operational compliance.
How DNSSEC Protection Works
For New Domain Registrations
Register your domain through our platform
DNSSEC is automatically enabled during setup
DS records are published to the parent zone
Your domain is protected from day one
For Domain Transfers
Initiate transfer with your authorization code
We detect existing DNSSEC configuration
DS records are migrated without interruption
Protection continues seamlessly
Ongoing Management
Key rotation handled automatically – no manual intervention required
Validation status visible in your control panel dashboard
DS record updates synced automatically with registry
Who Should Enable DNSSEC
Required For
- Government agencies and public sector organizations
- Healthcare providers handling patient data
- Financial institutions and payment processors
- Critical infrastructure sectors globally
Strongly Recommended For
- E-commerce sites handling transactions
- SaaS platforms with user authentication
- Corporate domains with email systems
- Any business concerned with brand protection
Not Critical For
- Personal blogs without user accounts
- Placeholder or parked domains
- Internal-only domains not publicly resolved
DNSSEC provides the most value when domain integrity directly impacts security, compliance, or customer trust.
Transfer Without Losing Protection
If your domain already has DNSSEC enabled, we preserve it during transfer.
What We Preserve
- Existing DS records and key pairs
- Parent zone delegation signatures
- DNSSEC validation chain
What Happens During Transfer
- We retrieve current DNSSEC configuration
- DS records remain published throughout
- New keys generated only after completion
- Zero-downtime migration
What You Don't Lose
- Search engine trust signals
- Browser security indicators
- Email authentication chains (DMARC/DKIM)
Transfers typically complete within 5-7 days. DNSSEC protection remains active the entire time.
Cost and Domain Eligibility
Cost
Free. DNSSEC is included with every domain registration and transfer at no additional charge.
Supported Extensions
- .com, .net, .org
- .sg, .com.sg, .net.sg, .org.sg
- Most country-code TLDs (ccTLDs)
- Most new generic TLDs (gTLDs)
Not Available On

Check domain-specific availability during registration. If DNSSEC isn't supported for your extension, we'll let you know before purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does DNSSEC slow down DNS resolution?
Minimally. DNSSEC adds cryptographic validation, which adds 10-50ms to initial DNS queries. Subsequent queries are cached. The security benefit far outweighs the negligible performance impact.
Can I disable DNSSEC after registration?
Yes, but it's not recommended unless you're migrating to a DNS provider that doesn't support it. Disabling DNSSEC removes a layer of protection against DNS-based attacks.
What happens if DNSSEC keys expire?
We automatically rotate keys before expiration. If rotation fails, we alert you via email. Expired keys result in DNS resolution failures, so we monitor this closely.
Do I need DNSSEC if I use Cloudflare or AWS Route 53?
It depends. If those services are your authoritative DNS, they handle DNSSEC signing. If we're your authoritative DNS, we handle it. DNSSEC must be enabled at the authoritative nameserver level.
Is DNSSEC the same as HTTPS/SSL?
No. HTTPS encrypts the connection between browser and server. DNSSEC ensures the DNS record pointing to that server hasn't been tampered with. Both are needed for complete security.
Does DNSSEC protect against DDoS attacks?
No. DNSSEC validates DNS data integrity, not availability. DDoS protection requires separate mitigation (traffic filtering, rate limiting, CDN).
Can I use DNSSEC with third-party nameservers?
Yes, but your nameserver provider must support DNSSEC signing. You'll need to provide our DS records to them, or import their DS records into our system.
How do I verify DNSSEC is working?
Use online validators like Verisign DNSSEC Debugger or command-line tools like dig +dnssec. We also provide validation status in your control panel.
