Recommendations to others considering DNSimple:

DNSimple is my favorite domain name registrar and DNS provider. They have been providing painless DNS management since a few years.

What do you like best about DNSimple?

I absolutely love DNSimple! Their tools made managing my domains incredibly simple and efficient. Setting up everything for my project, Ovet, was a breeze, thanks to their intuitive platform. Whether it’s domain management, DNS configuration, or setting up SSL certificates, DNSimple takes the complexity out of it all. I highly recommend their service for anyone looking to streamline their domain management process. It has significantly reduced the time I spend on DNS tasks and made my work easier! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DNSimple?

Honestly, I struggle to find anything I dislike about DNSimple. It’s been such a seamless experience that I haven’t run into any issues. If I had to nitpick, perhaps it would be helpful to have more advanced tutorials or tips for optimizing the use of some lesser-known features. But overall, it’s been fantastic for my needs! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DNSimple solving and how is that benefiting you?

DNSimple is solving the problem of managing domains and DNS configurations in a straightforward, user-friendly way. It simplifies complex tasks like domain registration, SSL certificate management, and DNS settings, which are often tedious or confusing. This has benefited me by saving time and reducing the hassle of managing my domains for Ovet, allowing me to focus more on building the app rather than handling technical overhead. The integration with external services and automation options have been particularly useful for streamlining my workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DNSimple?

The simplest, most complete UX for this sort of work that I have ever seen. I wish every hosting company, security company, and other nerd tool I use on the web would look at how things work on DNSimple. I am on the site every other month and all the things I know how to do stay the same even as they make other tools available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DNSimple?

More hsoting companies should consider working with them. The integration with Heroku is stellar and makes hosting at Heroku an even easier choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DNSimple?

DNSimple just works, I'm a 10yrs old customer and I didn't had any issues with this service. The API and the API docs are awesome and works as expected. It was so great to have a sandbox for the API to test my scripts before moving to production. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DNSimple?

DNSimple has everything that is needed. They have everyhting from DNS to sertificate management.

I recently started using their Let's Encrypt integration. Usually, updating Let's Encrypt sertificate every other month is a hassle, but DNSimples webhooks and APIs made it a easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DNSimple?

It is really hard to come up with downsides. What they do, they do well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DNSimple solving and how is that benefiting you?

DNSimple makes sure that all my domains and certificates are renewed. Periodic reminders about expiration come early. I automated the certificate issuance and installation with webhooks and API. That freed my time for other things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DNSimple?

We first learned about DNSimple through a recommendation in the documentation for our hosting provider (Heroku) in 2014, and I'm very glad we did.

DNSimple's customer service is highly responsive, their interface is easy to use, and their prices very reasonable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DNSimple?

We haven't found a downside to using DNSimple yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DNSimple solving and how is that benefiting you?

One example of how they make it easy to use is how their interface gives well-written, step-by-step instructions for installing an SSL certificate across at least 6 different providers: NGINX, Heroku, Azure, IIS, Apache, and Other Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DNSimple?

I really like the ways I am able to automate all things DNS using their API.

From the command-line using Lexicon I can manage and create any DNS records I need.

The service is reliable and geographically disbursed, this helps keep our infrastructure online and maintain resolution even in a network outage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DNSimple?

At first, DNSimple didnt have the same features of their competitors -- including full DNSSEC support, YubiKey/Security Key 2FA and secondary zones.

However, over the past year DNSimple seems to be making great strides to put their product on par with their competitors and at a fair cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DNSimple solving and how is that benefiting you?

DNSimple is helping us maintain high uptimes and ensure our DNS is able to be resolved throughout the world. Switching from Route53, also helped us reduce costs significantly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
