# DNSSec sign

## Function

The DNSSecSign task signs domains with DNSSEC. Communication to the registry is automatic.

IMPORTANT!

-   Domains and their associated zones that are signed with DNSSEC cannot be deleted. The signing must be removed beforehand.
-   As long as the signing or the removal of the signing is running and not completed, no update to other name servers can take place.
-   The signing and key rollover for a domain can take up to 2 days, the removal of the signing up to 10 days.
