So I have 100+ websites I manage for various clients, and it is a pain for me to login to their hosting or domain registrar accounts to manage their DNS.

Is there a simple solution, where I can turn on my own server that manages DNS? So for every domain I manage, I simply set a DNS once as ns1…com, and from thereon I can just manage their DNS configurations?

    Why not just use Cloudflare? Redirect client nameservers to them. Also you can pay them if you ever need prioritized support. Free plan is solid usually.

    DNS is scary to selfhost.

      CloudFlare is a quality DNS host with a solid control panel for managing your zones. However I will say that granting access to the domain owner or their other tech people is a giant hassle on CloudFlare.

        I don’t understand this sub sometimes. You are very right.

        This sub’s aversion to hosting email (and now DNS) is bizarre.

        Externally. Why not take use of the good options out there and make it easier for yourself?

            Basically letting Cloudflare take ownership over DNS. So much better then logging into x amount of different domain registrars web management panels. Its not really directly comparing to your BIND solution. But a lot better then what he/she currently struggles with.
