- Automatic string escaping and quoting for TXT
1-Click Automated DNSSEC

How OnlyDNS Simplifies Daily DNS Operations
Engineered for developers, IT administrators, agency managers, and domain owners who want reliability and speed without the headache of enterprise overhead.
URL Redirects & PROXY Records with Zero Server Setup
Need to forward an apex domain (example.com) to www.example.com, or redirect a subdomain to an external service? Traditional DNS requires setting up web servers, reverse proxies, and managing SSL certificates.
With OnlyDNS, choose URL Forwarding or PROXY Masking straight from the record type dropdown in our web interface. Our global Anycast edge network handles the redirect and TLS termination automatically.
api.example.com → 198.51.100.5
onlydns records list example.com returns new record immediately
Use the Web Dashboard, the API, or Both Together
Some tools force you to choose between manual web portals and pure programmatic APIs. OnlyDNS gives you the best of both worlds.
Use the Web Portal when you want quick visual oversight or manual adjustments. When you need automated CI/CD deployments, AI agent workflows, or Terraform IaC, use our API and SDKs. Every change made in one is instantly visible in the other.
