Supported provider
20i DNS, in the same place as everything else.
Does DNSMentor support 20i?
Yes. DNSMentor manages 20i DNS through its API, showing its zones alongside the other 25 supported providers in a single estate view. Every 20i change goes through the same 56 pre-flight checks, approval policy, independent verification and tamper-evident audit trail as every other provider.
Connecting 20i
- Create the credential in 20i my.20i.com → Reseller → API. That page lists three keys — take the FIRST, \"Your general API key\". The OAuth client key and the combined API key are for other things and the Reseller API rejects both with a 401. Paste it exactly; DNSMentor base64-encodes it for you.
- Add the connection in DNSMentor Go to Admin → Providers & API keys, choose 20i, and paste the credential. DNSMentor stores it encrypted and strips it from every log and export.
- Sync the estate DNSMentor discovers every zone the 20i 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 20i asks you for
The exact fields DNSMentor needs, and where in 20i to create them. Every secret is encrypted at rest and stripped by name from logs, exports and the audit trail.
General API Key secret my.20i.com → Reseller → API. That page lists three keys — take the FIRST, \"Your general API key\". The OAuth client key and the combined API key are for other things and the Reseller API rejects both with a 401. Paste it exactly; DNSMentor base64-encodes it for you.
What you get on top of the 20i console
One estate, not one provider
20i 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 20i 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.
20i questions
Can I manage 20i DNS alongside my other providers?
Yes. DNSMentor connects 20i 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 20i?
DNSMentor needs General API Key for 20i. my.20i.com → Reseller → API. That page lists three keys — take the FIRST, \"Your general API key\". The OAuth client key and the combined API key are for other things and the Reseller API rejects both with a 401. Paste it exactly; DNSMentor base64-encodes it for you.
Does DNSMentor move my zones away from 20i?
No. Your zones stay hosted at 20i and remain authoritative there. DNSMentor reads and writes through the 20i 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 20i 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 20i API after re-reading live state, and independently verified in public DNS afterwards.

Paste one credential, sync, and see every zone in that account. It is a read operation — nothing is written until somebody presses apply.
