DNS & PHP API

Hey guys,

Can you recommend me a DNS service? I want to be able to dynamically generate records so a DNS service that comes along with an API that I can talk with in PHP is a must.

Google/internets is recommending dyndns but I want to hear what the a.cc community thinks.

Thanks

If they don't need to point to different IP addresses, then you could just do a wild card.

If you are hosting your own DNS, then you could dynamically create records by just editing the zone files. I suppose there are DNS providers that give you API access to their services, but I've never had to use one.

I could do that but I want my DNS to be redundant. Hence why i'm looking for a managed solution with API access, looks like the average for that kind of service is 20$/month for starters

Some DNS providers support dynamic updates, as it's built into BIND, most can support it if they wanted to. I currently use dollardns.net for my DNS needs, and they support that.

Alright, I went with Zerigo, there's a free developer's package. It will do the trick for now.
