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?

We support the following record types: A, AAAA, ALIAS, CNAME, SRV, and TXT. We also support wildcard records.

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:


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

We do not allow these records to be created to prevent the abuse of our service. In future, we may introduce a paid plan that will allow this.

What are the limits of the service?

Currently we only allow 1 domain to be created per account, and 25 records per domain. This may change in the future if we introduce a paid plan.

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.

Could you add support for other record types?
