Cloud DNS

IONOS Cloud DNS lets you publish Domain Name System (DNS) zones of your domains and subdomains on public Name Servers. You can create and manage DNS Pointer (PTR) records for your IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to enable reverse DNS (rDNS) lookups. You can manage the public DNS zones, their associated zone records, and PTR records via the DCD and the Cloud DNS API.

The following operations can be performed only via the API:

• import and export DNS zone files

• create secondary DNS zones

• enable DNSSEC keys for DNS zones
