# DNS

> Modern DNS hosting for everyone — fast, free, and security-first.

Stackryze DNS is a free DNS hosting service, designed with security in mind. Running on open-source software, it's free for everyone to use.

## The four pillars

### 1. Modern records

Native support for the record types the modern web actually uses:

* **`SVCB`** — service bindings, doh, ech, ipv4hints, ipv6hints
* **`HTTPS`** — alias for SVCB with mandatory `alpn` and `port`
* **`TLSA`** — DANE TLS association for SMTP, HTTPS, and beyond

Plus the classics: `A`, `AAAA`, `CNAME`, `MX`, `NS`, `TXT`, `SRV`, `CAA`, `PTR`, `DNAME`.

### 2. Simple interface

The easiest way to manage DNS. Clean, fast, intuitive — no upsells, no modal soup, no dark patterns.

### 3. API-first *(under development)*

Full automation using standards-compliant JSON/REST. The same API powers the dashboard, so anything you can click, you can script.

### 4. Open source

100% free and non-profit. Transparent and community-driven. The full DNS engine is MIT-licensed at [github.com/stackryze/DNS](https://github.com/stackryze/DNS).
