Terra Incognita
The codename for Unified DNS Build 2026.07.28 — our largest release yet.
UDNS Hosting turns Unified DNS into authoritative DNS hosting for your clients' zones. A public API opens the platform up to your own tooling. And notifications finally live where you're already looking.
Every Unified DNS release gets a codename — this one is Terra Incognita, taken from Gojira's 2001 debut album. In the oldest sense of the term, it marked the blank space at the edge of a map: territory no one had charted yet, mapped only by actually going there. Until now, Unified DNS has been a management layer sitting on top of DNS infrastructure someone else operates — Cloudflare, Porkbun, GoDaddy, and the rest. Build 2026.07.28 is the release that changes that.
UDNS Hosting
MSPs can now host a client's zone directly on Unified DNS instead of depending on a third party's uptime, API stability, or pricing to keep DNS running.
Own the Nameservers
Geographically redundant, continuously replicated, and fully under Unified DNS's control — no third-party uptime to depend on.
Onboard However You Want
Start blank, scan a domain's live DNS, or import a BIND zone file. A review step catches anything before it goes live.
DNSSEC From Day One
Enable signing directly from the zone panel the moment delegation is confirmed.
Built-In URL Redirects
Point an entire domain at another live site with a managed 301/302 redirect — SSL included, no extra setup.
Audit Logging & Quick Restore
Every change is logged with a timestamp and actor. Reverting a record is one click, not a rebuild from memory.
Same Dashboard, No Extra Work
Hudu sync, compliance reports, and dashboard counts treat UDNS-hosted zones exactly like every other provider.
A restrictive CAA record — including the baseline applied by Parked Domain Hardening — blocks certificate issuance for a Redirect set up afterward on the same domain. Remove or update the CAA record first.
In-App Notifications
A redesigned notification bell in the top bar is now the fastest way to see what's happening across every client.
Every Alert, One Bell
Every alert type across the platform now surfaces in the top bar, gated by the same preferences you already set for Email, Slack, Discord, and Teams.
Full Notification History
A dedicated Notifications page with filtering by category, severity, read status, and delivery channel — not just the last five.
Know What Actually Got Delivered
A Delivered To tag on every notification confirms whether it reached Email, Slack, Discord, Teams, or your PSA, not just the in-app bell.
A New Alert to Watch
UDNS Delegation Confirmed joins the DNS Zone alert category, active for every organization from day one.
Public API Access
Manage DNS programmatically — call zones, records, and domains directly instead of only through the dashboard.
Scoped API Keys
Seven capability scopes across zones, records, domains, and clients. Every key declares its access explicitly — nothing is granted by default.
Zones, Records, Domains, Clients
List, create, update, and delete records, trigger a sync, manage registration details, and look up the clients tied to a key's zones.
Safe Rotation
Put a key on a rotation schedule with a grace period so rotating it doesn't break whatever's using it. Rotate or revoke on demand any time.
Built to Be Watched
Every request is logged, including denied and rate-limited ones, with a per-key usage view and a full audit trail for key lifecycle events.
Interactive API Reference
A live API reference behind the same opt-in as the rest of the platform's documentation, covering only the public API surface.
