Supported provider
easyDNS DNS, in the same place as everything else.
Does DNSMentor support easyDNS?
Yes. DNSMentor manages easyDNS DNS through its API, showing its zones alongside the other 25 supported providers in a single estate view. Every easyDNS change goes through the same 56 pre-flight checks, approval policy, independent verification and tamper-evident audit trail as every other provider.
Connecting easyDNS
- Create the credential in easyDNS The token half of the pair easyDNS emails you when it grants API access — apply at https://docs.sandbox.rest.easydns.net/ and it also appears in the easyDNS control panel once access is live. It is sent as the HTTP Basic username. New tokens are issued against the sandbox only; ask easyDNS API support to promote yours before switching this connection to Live.
- Add the connection in DNSMentor Go to Admin → Providers & API keys, choose easyDNS, and paste the credential. DNSMentor stores it encrypted and strips it from every log and export.
- Sync the estate DNSMentor discovers every zone the easyDNS account holds and imports every record in them. This is a read operation — nothing is written to any zone.
- Group by client and start working Assign the imported domains to client portfolios, and the estate view, health scoring, checks and audit trail apply from that point on.
What easyDNS asks you for
The exact fields DNSMentor needs, and where in easyDNS to create them. Every secret is encrypted at rest and stripped by name from logs, exports and the audit trail.
API Token secret The token half of the pair easyDNS emails you when it grants API access — apply at https://docs.sandbox.rest.easydns.net/ and it also appears in the easyDNS control panel once access is live. It is sent as the HTTP Basic username. New tokens are issued against the sandbox only; ask easyDNS API support to promote yours before switching this connection to Live.
API Key secret The key half of the same pair, sent as the HTTP Basic password. easyDNS does not offer read-only or per-zone scoping: this one credential can edit every zone on the account, so treat it as account-wide and rotate it through easyDNS support rather than self-service.
easyDNS Username not secret The login name you use at https://cp.easydns.com — not the API token. easyDNS lists domains by account name (GET /domains/list/{user}), so without it DNSMentor cannot enumerate your zones.
Environment not secret Leave blank for the live API. Enter 'sandbox' while you are still on easyDNS's sandbox credentials: sandbox zones accept edits and read back correctly but are never published to the internet.
The sharp edge in easyDNS's API
Every provider API has one behaviour that catches integrations out. This is easyDNS's, and DNSMentor's adapter is written around it — the sort of thing you would otherwise discover during a migration.
What you get on top of the easyDNS console
One estate, not one provider
easyDNS zones sit beside every other provider your clients came with, grouped by the client who pays for them and searchable in one place.
56 checks before apply
The easyDNS console will accept a second SPF record or an MX pointing at an address without comment. DNSMentor will not.
Approval and audit
A second pair of eyes where policy requires it, and a hash-chained record of who changed what — neither of which a provider console offers.
easyDNS questions
Can I manage easyDNS DNS alongside my other providers?
Yes. DNSMentor connects easyDNS through its API and shows its zones in the same estate view as every other provider you connect — 26 are supported in total. Your engineers work in one interface instead of switching between provider portals, and the same checks, approval policy and audit trail apply regardless of which provider a domain happens to be with.
What credentials does DNSMentor need for easyDNS?
DNSMentor needs API Token, API Key, easyDNS Username, Environment for easyDNS. The token half of the pair easyDNS emails you when it grants API access — apply at https://docs.sandbox.rest.easydns.net/ and it also appears in the easyDNS control panel once access is live. It is sent as the HTTP Basic username. New tokens are issued against the sandbox only; ask easyDNS API support to promote yours before switching this connection to Live.
Does DNSMentor move my zones away from easyDNS?
No. Your zones stay hosted at easyDNS and remain authoritative there. DNSMentor reads and writes through the easyDNS API, so nothing about your resolution path changes, and if you stop using DNSMentor the zones carry on exactly as they are.
Does DNSMentor validate easyDNS changes before applying them?
Yes. All 56 checks run against the zone as it would exist after the change, whichever provider hosts it. The change is then simulated, routed for approval if policy requires it, written through the easyDNS API after re-reading live state, and independently verified in public DNS afterwards.
Other providers DNSMentor manages
Connect easyDNS in about five minutes.
Paste one credential, sync, and see every zone in that account. It is a read operation — nothing is written until somebody presses apply.
