Joker.com
Migrate DNS zones to or from Joker.com: what's supported, what access you need, and what changes for each destination.
See how a domain's records would land at Joker. Free and read-only.
Access we need
- Credentials
- DMAPI API key (or username + password), session-based
- Permissions
- A dedicated DMAPI API key; DMAPI has no DNS-only scope, so revoke the key after the move.

- 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

These have no equivalent elsewhere and are flagged in every preview.
Good to know
- Joker replaces the whole zone on every write, so we read, merge and write it; URL, frame, mail-forward and DynDNS entries we don't change are kept as they are.
- TTLs must be at least 300 seconds (NAPTR excepted), and apex NS records are managed by Joker.
- TXT values can't contain backslashes or unpaired double quotes.
