Websupport
Migrate DNS zones to or from Websupport: what's supported, what access you need, and what changes for each destination.
See how a domain's records would land at Websupport. Free and read-only.
Access we need
- Credentials
- API key + secret (HMAC-SHA1 signed requests)
- Permissions
- An API key and secret on the Websupport user that owns the domain. Keys have no read-only mode, so the same key is used for preview and apply.
What Websupport 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
- SRV
Good to know
- Only A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT and SRV records can be managed; CAA values come back without flags and tag, so CAA records are not read, and NS and ANAME are left alone.
- Websupport cannot list DNS zones through the API; enter the domain name, and add new domains in the Websupport admin first.
- Null MX and SRV records without a target are rejected, and trailing spaces in TXT values are stripped.
