DNS record management
Easily manage public DNS records. Create, read, update, enable/disable, or delete DNS zones and records effortlessly. Import and export zones for easy migration. Also supports managing Reverse DNS (PTR) records for IPv4 & IPv6 addresses.
Automation
Automate DNS configurations with the IONOS CLOUD REST API, Terraform provider, and Go SDK. Gain flexibility, scalability, and precision in record management, ensuring seamless control over your DNS settings.
External DNS
Enable automatic DNS record updates for Kubernetes services. Keep DNS records in sync with dynamic infrastructure changes, reducing manual intervention. Guarantee consistent service availability for your applications with simplified DNS management.
