Turn off DNSSEC for your domain

DNSSEC protects your domain’s DNS with signatures. Turn it off before the domain changes nameservers, or when it has stopped working.

About 2 minutes Updated 6 Nov 2026

How to turn it off

  1. 1

    Log in to the client area and click Manage next to the domain.

    The domain’s page opens.

  2. 2

    Open the DNS / Nameservers tab.

  3. 3

    Open the DNSSEC sub-tab.

  4. 4

    Click Unsign.

    If it says Sign, DNSSEC is already off.

How to know it worked

Done

DNSSEC is off when the box says Sign.

Waiting time

Allow up to 4 hours, usually around 3, before the change applies everywhere. It can’t be sped up.

Good to know

  • A DNSSEC error stops your website, email and SSL certificate from working, even if the nameservers are right.
  • If you are transferring a domain to Inleed, turn off DNSSEC at the old provider first.
  • To turn DNSSEC back on, click Sign in the same place.
