+ Our aim is to provide a very friendly, but powerful service for your DNS management. +

+ +

What you can use it for

+ +

+ This allows you to simply create a host or host your own domains, + which can be managed from the web application or using our API's (simple API and complete REST API). +
+ The service gives you a total control of your DNS records without any restrictions. +

+ +

How can you benefit from this

+ +
    +
  • Have a total control of your own domain and records
  • +
  • Host your own site using your own internet connection
  • +
  • Access your computer using a domain name instead of a numerical IP address
  • +
  • Use your home dynamic IP and always have your domain pointing to it
  • +
  • Spend your money on more important things
  • +
+ +

+ We are open to new ideas or suggestions how to make the service better for you to use. +
+ We are interested to hear from people who would like to contribute in any way. +
