DNSense

Every client domain and DNS zone in one place.

Three situations we recognize from daily work.

Why we use DNSense

  • A client wants one record changed

    A CNAME for a new tool, a TXT record for mail. Normally that is a ticket, a wait, and someone on our side doing it by hand. With DNSense the client makes the change in their own zone.

  • The registrar login stays ours

    Sharing a registrar account means sharing every domain in it. In DNSense each client gets access to their own zones and nothing else, so no other client's domains are in view.

  • Every change has a name on it

    Time machine stores each change with the record before and after, the time and who made it. When a record breaks, you see what changed and put it back in one click.

DNSense as the engine behind client DNS access

Most DNS requests from clients are small. One record, one value, and a day of waiting because the person who has the login is busy.

DNSense connects to our registrar account and turns that into a self-service job. Clients log in to a Space on our own address, with our logo and colours, and edit the zones they are allowed to see.

We stay in control. Changes can wait for approval before they go live, every action lands in an audit log nobody can edit, and Time machine reverts a mistake in one click. The domains themselves stay registered at your registrar.

What we do with DNSense

We connect our registrar account to DNSense once. The credentials are stored encrypted, and the connection syncs on its own, so the overview matches what is live.

Next we give every client a Space with their own zones. They sign in on our address, see our branding, and get only the rights they need: viewing a zone, editing records, or editing with approval first.

From then on, client changes appear in the same history as ours, with the client's name on them. If something goes wrong, we check Time machine and revert it.

Three jobs that come back with every client.

What DNSense does for a web agency

  • Clients change their own records

    A new CNAME for a marketing tool shouldn't wait for someone with the login. Give the client a Space with their own zones, so they make the change themselves while you keep approval and history.

  • Launches that don't need a night shift

    A new site goes live when the DNS switches, and nobody wants to do that at midnight. Prepare the change in advance and Switcher runs it at the minute you pick, say 06:00 on a Saturday. If the site misbehaves, Time machine puts the old records back.

  • A new client zone in one action

    Every new site needs the same mail and hosting records. Save them once as a template and apply it to the next zone, adjusting only what differs. Records the zone already has are skipped.

Frequently asked questions about DNS management

01/ What is DNSense

A platform that connects to your registrar or DNS host and shows every domain and zone in one overview. You edit records, schedule changes and undo mistakes from there. It doesn't host or move your domains.

02/ Do I need to hand over the registrar login?

No. We connect our own account once. Clients get an account in DNSense with access to their own zones, and never see the registrar credentials.

03/ Can I see only my own domains?

Yes. Access is set per zone, so a client sees their own DNS and nothing else. Their view carries our logo and colours, on our own address

04/ What if a change goes wrong?

Every change is stored with the record before and after, the time and the person. Open the entry in Time machine and revert it in one click, for a single record or a whole zone.
