Connect IONOS

Connect your IONOS account to InfraNest so you can manage DNS, domains and SSL certificates in one place.

Overview

• Links InfraNest to your IONOS account using an API key.
• One key covers DNS, Domains and Certificates, so you choose which features to turn on.
• Once connected, your IONOS zones, domains and certificates show up inside InfraNest.

Before you start

You'll need an IONOS API key (the full prefix.secret value). See Create an IONOS API key for the steps. The same key covers DNS, domains and certificates.

Connect IONOS

1. Go to Integrations and open IONOS.
2. Give the connection an Account label (Optional).
3. Choose which features to use it for: DNS, Domains and Certificates.
4. Paste your full API key (prefix.secret).
5. Leave Email me when this integration has problems ticked if you'd like email warnings.
6. Select Connect.

What you get once it's connected

• DNS — view and edit your zones and records.
• Domains — renew, manage nameservers and contacts, lock transfers, turn WHOIS privacy on or off, and get the transfer (EPP) code.
• SSL certificates — your IONOS certificates appear in your certificate list.

NoteRegistering a new domain or transferring one in is done in the IONOS control panel — those aren't available through this connection. There's also no auto-renew toggle or DNSSEC through this connection.

Troubleshooting

• "Authentication failed" — make sure you pasted the whole key, including the part before the dot (prefix.secret), and that it's still active in IONOS.
