Our DNS servers now use 12% less CPU per query and handle 14% more queries per second, without a single line of C. We rewrote the hot paths in dns_erlang, the open-source library that decodes and encodes every query on our origin name servers. Name compression for long names is now more than 20x faster, and the same techniques made it upstream into Erlang/OTP and Elixir. Read more on our blog
After a three-year migration, every DNS query for your zones now travels exclusively across infrastructure we build, own, and operate ourselves. Read how we built our own DNS edge from the ground up:
Always Beyond, a Calgary-based MSP, brought 250+ client domains under one structured, auditable view, saving 5–10 hours a month. Check out how they did it: read the Always Beyond case study.
You asked, we listened. The DNSimple CLI now lets you log in and authorize your account through your browser, with no API token to generate or paste. 🔎 Curious? Read more about DNSimple CLI.
With DNSimple's new Domain Trustee feature, register country-code and restricted TLDs from anywhere, no local address required.
Many country-code TLDs like .COM.BR, .NO, .EU, and .KR require registrants to have a local presence. Domain Trustee removes that barrier. A compliant local contact satisfies the registry's eligibility requirements on your behalf while you keep full ownership and control of the domain in your DNSimple account.

🎉 Today we're excited to introduce the official DNSimple CLI. Get full control of your domains and DNS from the command line. Whether you're automating DNS in a CI/CD pipeline, managing certificates at scale, or just prefer staying in your terminal, this was built for you.
✅ Manage domains, DNS records, SSL certs & more
✅ Multi-account support with named contexts
✅ Shell tab-completion built in
✅ Structured output for scripting and automation
We wrote about why we built the CLI, how it works, and what's coming next. Read the full post here.
🦀 Big update for Rust developers: the DNSimple API client is now fully async! This new major release migrates the entire client to an async-first design.

Erldns is an open-source DNS server written in Erlang that powers DNSimple's authoritative nameservers. The latest major release brings powerful improvements to how erldns handles traffic. We’ve tackled bufferbloat by implementing the CoDel (Controlled Delay) queue management strategy and adopted CUBIC for more efficient congestion control. The result? A faster, smoother, and more responsive DNS service even under heavy load. Dive into the technical details in our latest blog.
DNSimple now supports SVCB & HTTPS DNS records (types 64/65)! Unlock faster HTTPS discovery, ECH, and HTTP/3 optimization. Learn more in our latest blog post
We are making multi-provider DNS security a lot simpler. DNSimple’s Domain Control Plane now supports CAA and SSHFP records for our Integrated DNS Providers, so you can manage certificate authorization and SSH host fingerprints from a single interface. Read more
