Hi!

Maybe someone can help me with a problem I’m having, vaguely related to self hosting.

I want to use a domain with let’s encrypt certificates locally. I realise the only way to do this is a (automated) DNS-01 challenge if I don’t want to expose anything to the outside.

Those DNS challenges require my name server to have some kind of API to automate the process. My registrar/name server doesn’t have a API unfortunately.

I want to use the opportunity to switch my registrar and name server in one go, but I’m pretty picky…

My wish list is:

  • MFA for general account administration
  • scoped tokens or account for API access (don’t need or want to manage everything by API)
  • can handle .at domains
  • not cloudflare
  • registrar and name server should be one entity if possible
  • european if possible
  • supported by ngnix proxy manager if possible

Backup plan would be picking a registrar which supports DNSSEC for .at domains and use desec.io I guess.

But maybe the hive mind has a good recommendation for me? :)

Thank you in advance for reading! I’m aware I’m just a bit extra, but i want to be able to just ignore the whole name server and domain topic for the next ten years again if I can.

Cheers!

    Your registrar should let you specify who is hosting the DNS records. Pick any host compatible with your client. Personally I use Namecheap and haven’t had to touch it in years.
