A domain you bought through Stund is yours to use for more than the booking page. The most common thing owners want is email at it — post@oslostyrke.com instead of a Gmail address — and that takes a couple of DNS records.
Because we registered the domain, we hold its records, so you don't need an account anywhere else. Everything is on one page in Settings.
Good to know
This page only exists for a domain bought through Stund. If you connected a domain you already owned, its records live wherever you bought it, and that is where you change them.
Set up email in a few clicks
Under Common setups you'll find the providers most organizations use. Pick one and we write the right records for you — you never have to know what an MX record is.
- First, sign up with the email provider itself (Google Workspace or Microsoft 365) and tell them the domain you want to use. That part happens on their site, not ours.
- Come back to the DNS page and choose the matching setup.
- Fill in anything the provider gave you. We prefill everything we can work out ourselves.
- Check the preview. It lists exactly which records will be added, and which existing ones will be swapped out.
- Press Add these records.
Email usually starts arriving within the hour. Send yourself a test message from an outside address before you tell anyone your new address.
Heads up
Email can only be delivered to one place. If you switch from one provider to another, the old provider's records are replaced, and mail stops arriving in the old mailbox. Move anything you want to keep first.
The other setups
- Protect your domain (DMARC) — tells other mail servers what to do with email that only pretends to come from you. Worth adding once your own email works. Start on Monitor only, and tighten it later once you're sure everything of yours is set up properly.
- Verify with another service — for anything that asks you to prove you own the domain: Google Search Console, Facebook, Bing. Paste the value they gave you, quotes and all. Verification records never interfere with each other, so you can have several.
Adding a record by hand
Anything the setups don't cover, you can add yourself with Add record. You choose a type, a name and a value.
- Name is the part in front of your domain. Leave it as @ for the domain itself, or type a prefix like mail. If you paste the whole hostname we'll trim it for you.
- Value is what the record points at — an address, a hostname, or a line of text.
- Cached for is how long the rest of the internet is allowed to remember the record. An hour is a good default. Pick five minutes if you expect to change it again shortly.
- Priority only appears for mail records. Lower numbers are tried first; use 10 if nobody gave you a number.
We check the record as you type and explain anything that won't work, rather than letting you save something broken. A few things we refuse on purpose:
- Two SPF records at the same name. This is the single most common way email breaks. If you're adding a second sending service, edit the SPF record you already have to mention both.
- A CNAME sharing a name with other records. The domain system doesn't allow it.
- Anything that would unhook your booking page. See below.
The records we look after
Two records are marked Managed and can't be edited or deleted: they are what makes your booking page answer on this domain. Deleting one takes your page offline, so the page doesn't offer the option. Everything else in the list is yours.
You'll also see that names like www are ours to manage. If you want another address to reach something, use a different prefix.
If you stop using the domain for your booking page
You can stop using a registered domain for the booking page at any time, and the domain still stays registered to you until it expires. Your email on it keeps working, and this page keeps working too — so you can still fix or change those records. The page tells you when a domain is in that state, and if you have more than one, you pick which domain's records you're looking at at the top.
Why a change doesn't work instantly
The domain system is built on caching. When you change a record, servers around the world may keep serving the old answer for a while — usually minutes, occasionally up to an hour. That is normal and there is nothing to fix.
So: change a record once, then wait. Changing it repeatedly because it hasn't taken effect yet only makes it harder to tell what is actually published.
If email still isn't arriving after an hour, check the provider's own setup page — they'll usually tell you which record they can't see yet, and you can compare it against the list here.
