Connect Dynadot

Connect your Dynadot account to InfraNest to manage domain renewals, nameservers, transfer lock, WHOIS privacy and contacts — all without leaving InfraNest.

Overview

• Connect Dynadot to see all your registered domains alongside your other infrastructure.
• Renew domains, toggle auto-renew, and update nameservers, transfer lock and WHOIS privacy.
• Use Dynadot as a registrar when catching a dropping domain in Drop Catch.
• Manage DNS zones for domains that use Dynadot's nameservers.

Before you start

You'll need a Dynadot API key and secret (API v2). 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 token and 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.

NoteDynadot is a registrar. If your DNS is hosted elsewhere, connect that provider separately.

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

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.

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 using Connect another account.
