At last! There is finally an actual standards compliant way to do Zone Apex Aliasing for your domains.
Until now this is usually done with some manner of CNAME flattening (what we call ANAMEs here), but as of RFC9460 there now exists two new DNS RR types within the protocol itself to do this properly:
- SVCB (Service Binding Record) is a generalized record that helps with service discovery by including parameters like transport protocol hints (e.g., TLS ALPN, port numbers), while allowing apex aliasing (similar to CNAME but for the zone apex).
- HTTPS is a specific type of SVCB designed to improve web and HTTPS service performance by indicating default HTTPS settings and allowing the use of service aliases at the zone apex (which traditional CNAME records cannot handle).
easyDNS has supported SVCB and HTTPS records since 2023, you can simply pick the record type from the rtype selector in the main DNS editor or under the "Other Types" in the modular editor.
