7. Choose the DNS configuration option:
   1. WEDOS NS (recommended):
      If WEDOS is your primary DNS provider, or you will migrate to WEDOS DNS servers. With this option WEDOS Protection will automatically configure your domain’s DNS records, ensuring a quick and error-free setup.
   2. Custom NS servers with CNAME records or similar*:
      If you have another DNS provider. With this option you must manually setup CNAME in your DNS – no need to migrate DNS.
8. To complete the setup process, follow the instructions given on the screen. Please note that making changes to DNS records can take minutes or hours to fully propagate.
9. If everything is set up correctly, you should see a green check mark next to DNS and Certificate under the current Subscription plan on the Dashboard for your domain. Now your domain will be fully protected by WEDOS Protection.

• CNAME records can typically only be used on subdomains (shop.domain.com) and not second-level domains (domain.com), so you must manually point the A and AAAA records to the provided WEDOS Protection IP addresses.
  • If your DNS provider supports ANAME or ALIAS records, or CNAME flattening, then you can use these records for the second-level domain.
• When setting up a CNAME, be sure to enter every character correctly. Even a small mistake can prevent the service from working properly.
• Ensure that your DNS records are pointing to the WEDOS IP addresses provided by WEDOS Protection only, and not to the web server.
