Overview

What DNS editor and one-click connect is.

Once you have a domain, Axiom Helm helps you connect it. Connection plans are prepared first and only applied after you confirm. Each plan can be undone.

DNS editing works through a connected Cloudflare zone. You see a preview of the exact record changes before anything is written, and writes need a separate permission you control.

Registrar-side DNS that would replace a whole zone is deliberately disabled. That prevents an edit from wiping records you did not mean to touch.

  • Whole-zone registrar DNS writes are disabled by design.
  • Cloudflare writes need a separate write permission.
How it works

Step by step.

Steps marked Rolling out are not available for every account yet.

  1. Discover

    Current public DNS for the domain is read so you know what is there now.

  2. Plan

    A connection plan or record change is prepared, with a preview of every record.

  3. Confirm

    Nothing is written until you confirm. Writes to Cloudflare require write permission you turned on.

  4. Check

    Connection progress is checked and shown, record by record.

  5. Undo

    A connection plan can be undone from the domain page.
