help Vercel DNS FAQ

Does Vercel DNS require moving my domain to Vercel?

No, a domain can remain registered with another registrar while its DNS records point to a Vercel deployment. Vercel can manage the records directly when the domain uses Vercel nameservers.

Which DNS records can Vercel manage?

Vercel’s DNS tools support records such as A, AAAA, CNAME, ALIAS, TXT, MX, SRV, and CAA. The record type you need depends on whether you are pointing a website, email service, verification token, or subdomain.

How long do Vercel DNS changes take to propagate?

Vercel says ordinary record changes can take up to 24 hours, while nameserver changes can take 24 to 48 hours to propagate fully. Cached results at different recursive resolvers can make the change appear inconsistent during that period.

Can I keep email with Google Workspace while hosting the website on Vercel?

Yes, the website and email can use different DNS records. Point the web records to Vercel and preserve the Google Workspace MX records, along with any required SPF, DKIM, and verification records.
