What is DNS Manager
DNS Manager is a tool available in Console that allows customers to:
- Use DigitalFyre's AnyCAST DNS for their domains if they do not have a hosting account, or if they need to use it for a domain that is utilized for a different purpose
- Setup rDNS for their assigned IP blocks for Dedicated Servers and IP Transit customers
Each customer can add up to 5 domains to our AnyCAST Network for free. There is a limit of 200 DNS Records per zone, 20 records per record type.
