Newbie here. I just purchased VPS hosting at Dreamhost on the recommendation of a web developer I know. In the process of purchasing registry for multiple domains elsewhere to host at Dreamhost, but now looking into security issues Dreamhost is saying they support DNSSEC for registration but not for hosting.
I don’t completely understand this issue. Nor do I understand if the instructions Dreamhost is giving are a workaround or just instructions for hosting at a site that uses DNSSEC and having registration only at Dreamhost.
The following is a quote from their site at https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/219539467
You must first host your nameservers at a third-party host that supports DNSSEC. It’s not possible to enable this if your nameservers are pointed to DreamHost.
Tell your third-party DNS host that you need to set up public keys to configure DNSSEC on your domain. They should provide you with 4 pieces of information:
- key tag
- algorithm
- digest type
- digest
