How to Rotate a DNSSEC Key

by | Mar 15, 2022

How to Rotate a DNSSEC Key is no longer a mystery with this handy guide by Bobcares.

At Bobcares, we offer solutions for every query, big and small, as a part of our Server Management Services.

Let’s take a look at how our Support Team is ready to help customers rotate a DNSSEC Key.

How to Rotate a DNSSEC Key

Rotating the domain’s DNS Security Extensions keys on a server regularly is a great way to increase the DNS record’s security.

In fact, our Support Team suggests rotating the domain’s DNSSEC keys annually. We can find the DNSSEC keys in the account’s backup file. Additionally, we do not have to create new DNSSEC keys in case of an account transfer to another server.

How to Rotate a DNSSEC Key

According to our Support Team, we can rotate a DNSSEC key with these steps:

  1. First, head to cPanel > Home > Domains > Zone Editor.

  2. Then, click DNSSEC for the domain we want to manage. This will open up the DNSSEC interface with a recommendation for when we should rotate the key.
  3. Next, generate a new DNSSEC key for the specific domain.
  4. After that, head to the domain registrar and enter the new DNSSEC key from the previous step.
  5. Then, we have to wait for 24 to 48 hours for the DS record to propagate.
  6. Next, remove the old DNSSEC key from the registrar.
  7. Finally, head to cPanel > Home > Domains > Zone Editor and delete the old DNSSEC key information.

At the end of the day, rotating the domain’s DNS Security Extensions keys is the optimal way to increase the DNS record’s security.
