Turn DNSSEC on or off
DNSSEC (Domain Name Security Extensions) uses digital signatures to verify the origin of your DNS across the internet and add extra security to your domains. All accounts have 5 free DNSSEC credits and each credit can be applied to a domain using GoDaddy nameservers. To protect more domains, you can upgrade to Premium DNS for additional DNSSEC credits. We'll manage all your DNSSEC settings for domains using GoDaddy nameservers. If your domain isn't using GoDaddy nameservers, you'll need to manually add DS records.
