Key Features

Authoritative DNS Zones

Create and manage authoritative DNS zones for your domains. Full control over SOA, NS, and all resource record types within each zone.

Multi-Record Support

Native support for A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, PTR, SOA, SRV, SPF, TXT, and CAA record types. Cover every DNS use case from web hosting to email delivery.

Reverse DNS (PTR)

Automated PTR record management for IPv4 and IPv6 address spaces. Essential for mail server reputation, syslog, and compliance logging.

Zone Transfers

Controlled zone transfer (AXFR/IXFR) support for secondary DNS servers. Delegate authority to external resolvers while maintaining primary control.

TTL Management

Configure Time-to-Live values per record set. Reduce TTLs before planned changes for faster propagation; increase after stabilization to reduce resolver load.
