Is Zerigo a good option for DNS management?

4 pointslukevdp5 comments

The main reason I'm looking at Zerigo specifically is that Heroku integrates with it easily. I love that Heroku keep the A records up to date and I need a DNS management service with an API.

Has anyone used Zerigo and able to comment on them? Are there other alternatives I should be looking at?

Go for it. I think Zerigo is about as good as any other similar service out there. I have used their DNS and their hosting and I have never had a problem with either one.

Thanks for the feedback

What would you like to see in an API for a DNS service? Just the ability to create/delete/update records and zones or something more?

Yeah I just need to be able to add/update/delete records. My customers will be able to use their own domain for my app. I want them to be able to delegate the nameservers and everything else is automated.

Right — I'm trying to get an idea of what people are after in/from a DNS service with an API. Have you looked at running your own database-backed name server at all?
