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

He wants to cash in on the SOPA scare.

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.
