Hey everyone 👋

I hope you’re all having a great week.

As some of you may have already spotted on our changelog, earlier today – we shipped a minor but important improvement to the deletion of web applications and servers:

Deleting a server or web application can sometimes leave DNS records behind. If that IP address (or target) is later reassigned, your domain could unexpectedly start pointing somewhere else – commonly referred to as **dangling DNS** and **subdomain takeover**.

RunCloud now gives you an option to automatically remove DNS records.

This can be done when deleting a web application:

As well as when deleting an entire server:

And, in both cases, you will be able to verify and confirm which DNS records will be removed:
