# Automatic DNS setup

> Use provider detection and supported Domain Connect setup, or fall back to manual DNS

Signal can open a provider approval flow that applies the required DNS records for supported authoritative DNS providers.
You still own the final verification and should review every proposed change.

## Providers with automatic setup

The current dashboard recognizes automatic setup for Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Vercel, IONOS, Glauca Digital, NameSilo, and Plesk.

It can detect Amazon Route 53, Google Domains, Namecheap, DigitalOcean, DNSimple, Hover, Squarespace, and Azure DNS, but those providers use manual setup in the current flow.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add the domain">
    Signal inspects authoritative nameservers and displays the detected provider.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Records">
    Select **Setup** when automatic setup is available.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve at the provider">
    Sign in to the DNS provider, review the proposed records, and approve only the expected domain.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Return to Signal">
    Signal starts verification after the provider flow completes.
    Wait for public DNS propagation and review each record status.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## If automatic setup is unavailable

Copy the record type, host, value, priority, and TTL into the authoritative provider manually.
Automatic setup availability can also depend on the current environment configuration.

## If setup fails

* Confirm the detected provider still hosts authoritative DNS.
* Confirm you approved the correct provider account and zone.
* Disable browser blockers that prevent the provider handoff.
* Check whether the provider rejected one record because a conflicting record exists.
* Fall back to manual setup instead of repeatedly approving an unclear change.

<Warning>
  Provider approval does not prove that DNS is live.
  Return to Signal and wait for every required record to verify.
