Disabling or Enabling Record Sets

Scenarios

You can disable a zone or its record sets on the DNS console. If you disable a zone or record set, it cannot be used for resolution. You can enable the zone or record set at any time if you need it again.

The domain name registry reviews the legitimacy of the website and forbids the access to the website during the domain name licensing. If you have added record sets on the DNS console, you need to disable them and then enable them after the licensing is complete.

This section describes how to disable or enable record sets.
