Cloud DNS

IONOS Cloud DNS lets you publish Domain Name System (DNS) zones of your domains and subdomains on public Name Servers. You can manage your DNS zones and records both via the Cloud DNS API and Data Center Designer (DCD).

With IONOS Cloud DNS, you can import and export DNS zone files, create secondary DNS zones, enable DNSSEC keys for DNS zones, and manage DNS records. You can also use the Cloud DNS API to create and manage Reverse DNS records for your IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

The IONOS Name Server infrastructure is distributed across 14 point-of-presence (POP) locations in Europe and the USA to ensure fast and reliable DNS resolution for users across these locations.
