Access we need

Record types

  • CNAME
  • MX
  • TXT
  • SRV
  • CAA
  • TLSA

Good to know

  • netcup has no per-record TTL: every record uses the zone TTL (86400 seconds by default), so source TTLs are not kept.
  • Domains can only be listed for reseller accounts; everyone else enters the zone name, and NS records are not managed.
  • TXT values with quotes or backslashes and CAA values with semicolons are altered or rejected by the API.
