Connect Dynadot

Connect your Dynadot account to InfraNest so you can manage your Dynadot-registered domains — renewals, nameservers, transfer lock, WHOIS privacy and contacts — all from one place, and use Dynadot as a registrar when catching a dropping domain.

Overview

• View and manage every domain registered in your Dynadot account, right from InfraNest.
• Handle renewals, auto-renew, nameservers, transfer lock and WHOIS privacy without switching tools.
• Use Dynadot as a target registrar in Drop Catch.
• Manage DNS zones and records for domains that use Dynadot's nameservers.

NoteYou'll need a Dynadot API key and secret (API v2) before you start. See Create a Dynadot API key for the steps.

Connect Dynadot

1. Go to Integrations and open Dynadot.
2. Give the connection an Account label so you can recognise it later. This is optional.
3. Paste your API key and API secret.
4. Optionally paste the Webhook key and Webhook secret so Dynadot can tell InfraNest about changes as they happen — see Create a Dynadot API key.
5. Select Connect.

InfraNest checks the credentials and starts importing your domains.

What you can do once it's connected

• See every Dynadot domain with its expiry, status and nameservers.
• Renew a domain, and switch auto-renew on or off.
• Change nameservers, transfer lock and WHOIS privacy.
• Register a domain, and use Dynadot as a target registrar in Drop Catch.
• Manage DNS zones and records for domains registered at Dynadot and using its nameservers.

Tips

• Which actions are available depends on the domain's extension — anything Dynadot doesn't support for that TLD is greyed out with the reason.

WarningDynadot has no way to change a single DNS record: saving one rewrites the whole zone. If you edit the same zone here and in the Dynadot panel at the same time, the last save wins — so pick one place to make changes at a time.

Troubleshooting

• "Authentication failed" — the key or secret is wrong, or the key was removed. Create a new one in Dynadot and reconnect.
• A domain is missing — it may be in another Dynadot account; connect that account too.
• Dynadot is a registrar — if your DNS is hosted elsewhere, connect that provider separately.
