## DNS Server as a Service (DNSSaaS)

This service allows you to manage DNS entries on your own DNS
servers. You manage zone files and zone records in the standard BIND
format.

### Not included

This service does not register a domain or manage your SSL
certificates. It is purely allowing you to manage your DNS zones files
without having to run your own DNS server.

The DNS server does not support IXFR or AXFR request. The
distribution of DNS information is assumed to be done by other means
such as git.

## Features

The provided DNS servers are reachable via IPv6 and IPv4.
The DNS servers are configured to pull from the configured repository
every 5 minutes.

If you order more than one DNS server, we offer to place them into
different data centers and IP ranges.

## How to use the DNS servers

There are a few simple steps required:

* Create a git repository anywhere you want - for instance on
  [code.ungleich.ch](https://code.ungleich.ch) with an [ungleich
  account](https://account.ungleich.ch).
* Create the zone files in the directory "zones/"
* Every file in the zones/ directory becomes a zone served by the DNS
  server
* The zone ("domain") is infered from the filename
* Symbolic links are supported, so you can have different zones with
  the same content


## Fully Open Source and IPv6 enabled

The DNS is completely based on Open
Source Software components. From the operating system to the software
stack, nothing is closed. This service is based
on [Knot-DNS](https://www.knot-dns.cz/).

## Zero Carbon

The DNS servers are running in our [Zero Carbon
Data Center.](httsp://datacenterlight.ch)

## Pricing

The hosted DNS server including IPv6 and IPv4 reachability is 17
CHF/month with a 25 CHF setup fee.

## How to order

As the support system can be setup for very different use cases, we
recommend to contact us at **support -at- ungleich.ch** to discuss how
you would like to have your system setup.
