# Procedure for Dyn DNS

These instructions will guide you through updating your domain's DNS record to work with Vin65's new redirector.

For clients using Dyn DNS, Vin65 recommends the **Managed DNS** package. This package is available from Dyn for $7/month and provides **DNS Aliasing**. This new type of DNS record works very well with Vin65's infrastructure.

## Logging In

First, [visit the Dyn Portal login page](https://manage.dynect.net/login/) (opens in a new tab). Log in using your DynID username and password. If you do not have a DynID, [click here](http://manage.dynect.net/enroll/) to make one.

## DNS Management

Locate the Zones section on the DNS Management page and click **Create Zone**.
