# NexDNS

> Professional DNS hosting with a built-in control panel – zones, records and reverse DNS on every plan; DNSSEC, the REST API, CLI, Terraform, DNS-as-Code and full ISPmanager / DNSmanager API compatibility from the Pro plan up. SaaS, no server to maintain. Plans from 2.90 €/month.

NexDNS is a SaaS DNS hosting platform designed as a drop-in replacement for ISPsystem's DNSmanager. Every paid plan provides master zone management, reverse (PTR) zones, DNS record management, zone import/export (BIND format), DNS propagation checking, zone health monitoring, and NS servers in Germany and the Netherlands. From the Pro plan up it adds automatic DNSSEC signing, slave zones and machine access: a REST API, an official Go CLI (`nexdns`), a Terraform provider, a Certbot DNS plugin, an OctoDNS provider and the ISPmanager-compatible API. White-label nameservers are available from the Business plan up.
