Disabling or Enabling Record Sets

Scenarios

The domain name registry reviews the legitimacy of the website and requires that the website cannot be accessed during the domain name licensing period. If you have added record sets for the website on the DNS console, you need to disable those record sets. After the licensing is complete, enable the record sets.

This topic describes how to disable or enable record sets.
