Introduction
By storing your domain directly in Buddy, you gain instant access to DNS management, automation, and access control. This removes the need to use third-party service panels. Domains added to Buddy can be used, for example, with Tunnels.
What domain operations are available in Buddy?
- Transfer Domain - If you already have a domain registered with another service, you can transfer it to Buddy.
- Buy a Domain - You can buy a domain and register it directly in Buddy.
- Point Domain - Without transferring the domain, you can simply configure its DNS records to point to Buddy. This allows you to keep the domain registered with your current provider.
- Manage DNS Records - Add and manage DNS records including A, CNAME, MX, TXT, and DMARC records.

Email Security with DMARC
Protect your domain from email spoofing and phishing with DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance). DMARC helps you:
- Monitor email activity - See who's sending emails from your domain
- Prevent phishing - Stop unauthorized use of your domain
- Get detailed reports - Analyze email authentication results
DMARC works alongside SPF and DKIM records to provide comprehensive email security for your domain.
