nya.je - DDNS

What is the DDNS service?

DDNS is a service that allows you to update your DNS records automatically. Although Nya.je is advertised as such, we also support manually setting DNS records. Essentially, you can use Nya.je as a way to get a free domain for your computer or server.

What record types are supported?

Free accounts support A, AAAA, ALIAS, CNAME, SRV, and TXT (wildcard records included). Nya.je Plus also unlocks MX, NS, and mail-related TXT (SPF/DMARC).

I updated my DNS records, but it still doesn't work.

It can take some time for the changes to take effect.

Is nya.je on Public Suffix List?

No, nya.je is not on the Public Suffix List right now. We will submit it once we have enough users. This currently means that other domains can set cookies for other domains and access them. To avoid this, prefix all your cookies with __Host-, which makes them only accessible to the host they are set for.

What am I allowed to host on my domain?

You're allowed to host anything, except for the following:

Illegal content in United States, Germany or in your local jurisdiction;
Websites that contain malware, viruses, or phishing;
Low quality websites for purposes of search engine optimization, gambling or spam;
Websites that contain real-life pornography or gore;
Websites that contain "lolicon" or "shotacon" content.

Why I can't create NS, SPF, DMARC, and MX records?

These are restricted on the free plan to prevent abuse. Upgrade to Nya.je Plus from the dashboard to create MX and NS records, and SPF/DMARC TXT records.

What are the limits of the service?

Free: 1 domain per account, 25 records per domain. Plus: 10 domains, 250 records per domain, plus MX/NS and mail TXT records.

What is the difference between ALIAS and CNAME?

CNAME records can only be used on subdomains and cannot exist alongside other record types (like A or AAAA). A CNAME points a subdomain to another domain name (for example, home.nya.je points to otherdomain.com).

ALIAS records are similar, but can be used at the zone apex (root, e.g., username.nya.je) and coexist with other records. ALIAS records behave like CNAMEs but are resolved at the DNS level so your root domain can point to another hostname.

Can I add my Nya.je domain to Nekoweb?

Yes, you can add your nya.je domain to Nekoweb by using the ALIAS record type.
