DNS Made Easy
Migrate DNS zones to or from DNS Made Easy: what's supported, what access you need, and what changes for each destination.
See how a domain's records would land at DNS Made Easy. Free and read-only.
Access we need
- Credentials
- API key + secret key (HMAC-SHA1 signed requests)
- Permissions
- API keys act with the permissions of the user they belong to; that user needs read access for the preview and edit rights on the domains to apply.
What DNS Made Easy supports
The same data the translation engine uses when it plans a migration.
- Create zones through the API
- List zones through the API
- Turn on DNSSEC through the API
- Apex CNAME (flattening)
- Apex ALIAS record
- Aliases to cloud resources
- CDN proxy on records
- Routing policies
- Minimum TTL
- 60s
Record types
- A
- AAAA
- CNAME
- MX
- TXT
- NS
- SRV
- CAA
- PTR
- SPF
- ALIAS
DNS Made Easy-only records
- URL
- URL301
- FRAME
These have no equivalent elsewhere and are flagged in every preview.
Good to know
- The API allows 150 requests per 5 minutes per key, so large zones can take several minutes to apply.
- Only records in the DEFAULT Global Traffic Director location are read and changed.
- System NS records are managed by DNS Made Easy; HTTP redirects (HTTPRED) map to URL, URL301 and FRAME records.
