Hosting & Domains

Hosting & Domains is for businesses that resell or administer hosting: the accounts, the domains, the DNS, and the provider credentials that sit behind them.

  • Provider credentials, which are held separately from the accounts they administer.

What Hosting & Domains does

For businesses that resell or administer hosting.

01

Keep hosting accounts and domains

One registry of what you administer, rather than a spreadsheet and three control panels.

02

Manage DNS directly

DNS records are edited here. DNS is the fastest way to take a business offline, so restrict this one tightly and change one record at a time.

03

Hold provider credentials apart

Credentials are a separate permission from the accounts they unlock, so an administrator can manage a domain without holding the keys to the provider.

04

Synchronise with the provider

Sync is what keeps the registry honest about what the provider actually has. A registry nobody syncs is a list of what you meant to do.

What it claims to do

Where it connects

The modules Hosting & Domains hands work to, or takes it from. Most problems that look like one module are a handover between two.
