More advanced DNS functionality is now available! ClouDNS has expanded its DNS management capabilities with support for two DNS record types: HTTPS and SVCB (Service Binding).
The new record types are now available through the ClouDNS Web platform, API, and Control Panel. Support for HTTPS and SVCB records will also be included in an upcoming WHMCS release.
Both record types support the following parameters:
Service parameters can be configured according to the endpoint requirements. For example:
alpn=h2,h3
This parameter advertises support for specific application-layer protocols, in this case HTTP/2 (h2) and HTTP/3 (h3).
SVCB and HTTPS records offer key benefits, such as streamlining service endpoint discovery and allowing clients to automatically obtain connection details. These record types help with protocol negotiation, alternative service discovery, encrypted DNS deployment, and more efficient connection handling, ultimately improving the user experience for modern web services.
The HTTPS record is a specialized form of the SVCB record intended specifically for HTTPS services.
You can now configure HTTPS and SVCB records directly from your ClouDNS Dashboard or through the API.
We’re continuing to enhance the ClouDNS DNS platform. More updates are coming soon!
