DNSimple

1. What you get with DNSimple
2. How the integration works
3. Good to know

DNSimple has spent more than a decade doing one thing deliberately well: DNS for developers. No upsells, no sprawling product suite — just fast anycast nameservers, a clean control panel and one of the best-documented DNS APIs in the business. That API focus is exactly what makes it a natural fit for Rocketeers, which keeps your records pointed at the right servers as your sites evolve.

#What you get with DNSimple

• DNS records created and updated automatically when you launch or move sites.
• Anycast nameservers for fast, resilient resolution worldwide.
• An API-first provider — automation is DNSimple's core use case, not an afterthought.
• Domain registration and DNS under the same roof, so everything lives in one account.
• No more manual record edits or propagation guesswork.

#How the integration works

Generate an API access token in your DNSimple account — account-level tokens work best for teams, user tokens for personal setups — and add it to Rocketeers. From then on, Rocketeers uses DNSimple's REST API to create and update records: pointing domains at new servers, adjusting records during migrations and adding the TXT records that email and certificate verification require. Every change shows up in DNSimple's own record history.

#Good to know

• DNSimple is subscription-based: plans are billed per account, with DNS management included in the tier rather than priced per zone.
• Both user and account tokens are supported; account tokens are the better choice for teams because they aren't tied to one person.
• Secondary DNS and vanity nameservers are available on higher plans if you want redundancy across providers.
• The API is versioned and stable — DNSimple has run v2 for years without breaking changes.
