About Primary-Auto Service

To ensure proper functioning of the domain it is necessary that at least two DNS servers respond the domain-related requests.

DNS server, where the full primary information about a zone (domain) is stored, is a Primary DNS server for that zone; other DNS servers are Secondary, if they get full zone information from a primary DNS server or another secondary DNS server.

RU-CENTER offers the Primary-Auto service to its customers. When providing the service RU-CENTER adjusts one of its DNS servers (ns3.nic.ru) as the primary one for the customer's domain name:

Ordering a package of the Primary-Auto and Secondary services ensures functionality of the Web-forwarding service ordered by a client in RU-CENTER. All appropriate records automatically enter the zone file. No extra records at a client's wish may be made.

in order to get the opportunity to enter any records into the zone you should use the "Primary-Standard" service.

You may order the Primary-Auto service for:

• a direct zone (domain)
  you should specify a full domain name in the process of ordering the service, for example:

  test.ru, test.msk.ru etc.

  don’t put "www" in front of the domain name

You can’t order the Primary-Auto service:

• for a domain name, located in a domain, which is one or several levels higher, and for which any of the services Primary-Standard, Primary-Auto or DNS support within the hosting service is active, and that service is being provided to another RU-CENTER customer.
• for a domain of general use (GEOGRAPHICAL or GENERIC type).

The cost of the Primary-Auto service is 150 RUB a year (with taxes). You may order the service for domain names from any zones, including domain names, not registered by RU-CENTER. The order can be placed at the same time the domain name registration is processed, or later through the "Manage your account" section.
