DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) is a set of specifications that extend the DNS protocol by adding cryptographic authentication for responses received from authoritative DNS servers. Its goal is to defend against techniques hackers use to direct computers to fake websites and servers.

In 2019, RNIDS (Register of National Internet Domains of Serbia) enabled the signing of national .rs domains.


DNSSEC is set up in two parts: first on the DNS servers where the domain is directed, and then at the registry where the domain is registered. If you use our web hosting and DNS servers then you need to set the first part on the cPanel of your web hosting.
