Ask HN: Which tool do you use to configure your DNS entries?

I suspect most individuals use online control-panels, from their domain-registrars.

If you need to be dynamic, or outsource your DNS, there are options from Dynn, Digital Ocean, Amazon, etc, which allow you to use their API (and optionally a panel-interface).

Those APIs can be wired up to allow you to update things frequently if you wish, for example automating zone-transfers from a hidden-master, or converting a git-repository of text-files into live DNS entries.

Really your question is quite broad, and a more specific question would be required to provide a decent reply.


I started using Google Cloud DNS and I find it nice that I can export my DNS entries as yaml and then keep it version controlled.


Configuring mostly through the web interface of dnsmadeeasy. Great service, good pricing.


Cloudflare.


vim. I've been operating my own DNS servers for over 20 years.
