I have a WordPress site in Kinsta, the domain is registered with Godaddy but Godaddy says the DNS is with Hostinger yet I’m sure I saw DNS records in Kinsta the other day, when I click on DNS Management in MyKInsta it says ‘Add Your First Domain’ and then says ‘Once a domain has been added we’ll generate Amazon Route 53 nameservers for it and you can start adding zone records’, as the DNS is already set up (somewhere) I don’t want to mess that up, I just need to find the place where current DNS records can be modified as I need to add SPF and DKIM records, any guidance would be much appreciated.
Hi Anthony, and welcome to the Kinsta Community Forum.
To access Kinsta DNS, click on DNS in the left sidebar. If you don’t see this in the sidebar, you may be currently viewing site details currently. Click on the Kinsta logo at the top left of MyKinsta to get back to the top level of MyKinsta. You should then be able to see DNS in the left sidebar.
You should then arrive at the DNS management page. To access and modify DNS records for a domain within Kinsta DNS, click directly on the domain name within the list:
If there is a red X icon next to the domain name instead of a green checkmark, Kinsta DNS may not be set up as the authoritative nameservers for the domain yet. Check the DNS nameserver settings at GoDaddy and update them to the Kinsta DNS nameservers (specified for each domain in Kinsta DNS).
We strongly recommend copying DNS Records from the current DNS host (like Hostinger) into the Kinsta DNS record list before making the nameserver settings change at GoDaddy. That way there should not be any interruption of critical services like email or your website loading.
