DNS editor and one-click connect
Point your domain at your Helm site, edit DNS with a preview before every change, and undo a connection plan if it was not what you meant.
Updated
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.
Step by step.
Steps marked Rolling out are not available for every account yet.
- Discover
Current public DNS for the domain is read so you know what is there now.
- Plan
A connection plan or record change is prepared, with a preview of every record.
- Confirm
Nothing is written until you confirm. Writes to Cloudflare require write permission you turned on.
- Check
Connection progress is checked and shown, record by record.
- Undo
A connection plan can be undone from the domain page.
