Lumi domains are already on Cloudflare, so DNS is managed right in the bot. There are two ways to connect a domain to a server or an external service.
  • A record — a direct binding of the domain to your server’s IP. DNS stays on Lumi’s Cloudflare. This is what you want almost every time.
  • NS change — hand the whole domain over to another service that runs its own DNS.

​
Managing records in the bot

Under DNS settings you add and delete records of types A, CNAME, AAAA, MX, TXT, SRV — for a site, subdomains, email, and ownership checks. The Change NS button sets your own nameservers.
If the domain’s NS aren’t on Cloudflare, the first time you touch DNS, redirects, or Cloudflare settings the bot offers to move the NS back to Cloudflare for you.
