Capabilities are being verified.
We haven't confirmed Hurricane Electric's record types and limits against its official API yet, so we don't list them here. Check a domain to see how its records compare.
Good to know
- Hurricane Electric has no official DNS API. Tools such as DNSControl drive the dns.he.net web interface with the account password, which DNSMigrator does not do yet.
- Dynamic DNS records keep their own update keys, which can't be read back and must be set again after a move.
