LuaDNS
Migrate DNS zones to or from LuaDNS: what's supported, what access you need, and what changes for each destination.
See how a domain's records would land at LuaDNS. Free and read-only.
Access we need
- Credentials
- Account email + API key (HTTP Basic)
- Permissions
- API access turned on in Settings and an API key, global or restricted to the zone. LuaDNS keys have no read-only mode, so the same key is used for preview and apply.
What LuaDNS supports

- Create zones through the API
- List zones through the API
- Turn on DNSSEC through the API
- Apex CNAME (flattening)
- Apex ALIAS record

Good to know
- FORWARD (email forwarding), REDIRECT (web redirect) and FAILOVER records are LuaDNS features that are not read or written; recreate them in the dashboard.
- The free plan enforces a 300-second minimum TTL and a 30-record limit; paid plans allow 60 seconds.
- If the account uses LuaDNS Git integration, the next git build replaces API-made changes unless the zone file covers them with an ignore() rule.
