What DNSs have API access? [closed]

Question

I saw this over on slashdot and realized if I could program in dns control into some of my apps it would make life a lot easier. Someone over there recommended dynect which apparently had a wonderful api. Unfortunately not a lot else was recomended. I don't know anything about managing dns servers I mostly work with the lamp stack, so on linux I understand bind is the way to go but other then a basic setup I'd be lost. I'd rather outsource the details.

What DNS services have API's and are easy to use without breaking the bank?

Answer 1

I guess in the last 3 years this is a bit of a solved problem. Here are some to check out:

• Amazon has a nice dns service now http://aws.amazon.com/route53/
• Linode has a free api based dns if you're a customer.
• Dynadot has a fee dns with an api if you're a customer.
