Delegating a domain to Yandex

Delegating a domain is a prerequisite for using a domain name on the Internet. DNS-servers, software-hardware complexes (applications) ensure the operability of this condition. Despite the complexity of the name, the process is available to a person who does not have the skills of a programmer.

Domain connection - why is this necessary?

Suppose that the domain name is already purchased, for example, domenbk.ru, and there was a desire or need to check mail on other services, such as "Yandex". But the question arises: how to use this domain to get the following familiar functions:

• Convenience of the application.
• Translation of text from one language to another.
• A familiar interface.
• Calendars and repositories.
• Safe storage of information.
• Filtering and protection from spam.

The first solution is to configure mail forwarding inside the hosting. Mail, registered under the domain domenbk.ru, will come to another address, for example yandex.ru.

The other two options are more complicated. They are appropriate for such cases:

• Creation of corporate mailboxes (a box of this type is registered for each employee: employee_name@firma.ru).
• For mailings from an existing domain, you need to ensure delivery of messages that are not identified as spam.
• To create mailboxes by users who are registered on a portal with an identical domain name.

Connecting mail for business: example of hosting "Yandex"

In order to connect a specific item to the mail for the domain "Yandex", you can use two solutions:

• By confirming the right to own the domain, after which the setting of the MX record becomes available. In this case, the DKIM and SRV entries are not automatically registered.
• Delegation of the domain to "Yandex". In this case, the site will become inaccessible for up to three days, so the option is suitable for recently installed domains.

How do I delegate a domain?

In order to perform domain delegation on Yandex, you need the following:

• Registered domain.
• The account in "Yandex", which is registered on pdd.yandex.ru. yandex.

• The domain is required to be connected to pdd.yandex.ru.

The domain that connects is registered with DNS:

• Dns1.yandex.net.
• Dns2.yandex.net.

After three days in pdd.yandex.ru an A-record with the IP-address of the server is indicated.

How do I attach a domain?

This method is suitable for hosted domains (the site is already located there). To attach a domain, you will need:

• Registered domain.
• The account of "Yandex".
• Entering and connecting a domain in pdd.yandex.ru.
• Confirm ownership of it in the following ways: a file is uploaded to the site directory (recommended); A CNAME record is added; By changing the address of the mailbox from the registrar; Delegation (not suitable for overbought domains).
• Getting the results of the test.
• Prescribing an MX record.
• Waiting for the end of the connection (takes up to 72 hours).
• Checking the status of the domain (indicating the information about successful termination of the connection and delegation of the domain).

Nuances to remember

• At delegation the site will be blocked for 72 hours, therefore the method is better for using for new domains.
• Attaching MX records activates the DNS editor, but editing this editor does not apply.
• The availability of Yandex functions in the mail will be possible after the attachment. It is worth noting that the three positions are an exception and are limited - this is Yandex.Money, Yandex.Direct, Yandex.Music.
• Mailing in corporate mail - allowed.

Removing a Domain from Delegation

Hosting has the right to remove a domain from delegation. This procedure neglects the specified DNS servers. If the domain is removed from the delegation, then access to it is not possible. Initiate the withdrawal can both owners and registrar.

The reason that affects the redelegation of the domain may be the fact that the initiator of the removal - the owner - independently establishes the status of UNDELEGATED for the sites and services that you want to disable.

If the initiator is the registrar, the withdrawal occurs as a result of the following reasons:

• The term of domain registration is terminated (the domain is blocked for the period specified in the registrar's rules and after its termination is deleted from the registry);
• Detection of a virus that makes a substitution of content, resulting in a phishing page;
• The data proving the right to own the domain is not provided;
• The DNS servers are not working properly;
• Court decision on cancellation of registration.

Reasons for redelegation are clarified when you apply to the technical support of the registrar, if the rules of using it are not violated by the hosting company.

In conclusion, it should be mentioned that the user can independently verify the delegation of the domain. The Internet has created services that will help to find out this information. It is not difficult to work with them, and the procedure takes only two minutes. The user is required to enter the domain name in the appropriate line and click the "Check" button.
