Multi-Provider DNS Dashboard
Most organizations don’t use one DNS provider. You have domains on Cloudflare, some legacy zones on Route53, a few on GoDaddy because a client set them up years ago, and a couple on DNSimple from a side project that turned into a real product. To see your full DNS picture, you log into four different dashboards.
BackupMyDNS connects to all of them and shows every zone, every record, every change in one place.
Supported providers
- Cloudflare — connect via scoped API token with
Zone:Readpermission - AWS Route53 — connect via IAM credentials with read-only access
- DNSimple — connect via read-only OAuth token
- GoDaddy — connect via API key with domain read access
Connect as many accounts of each provider as you need. Three Cloudflare accounts and two Route53 accounts? That works. Each connection is independent.
What the unified view gives you
Once your providers are connected, the dashboard shows your entire DNS footprint:
See everything in one place. Every zone from every provider appears in a single list. No more checking Cloudflare for one domain and Route53 for another. You know exactly where every domain lives.
Compare records across providers. When you’re migrating a domain from GoDaddy to Cloudflare, you can see both sets of records without switching tabs. When you suspect a record is configured differently across environments, you can verify it from one screen.
Detect changes across your entire footprint. Change detection runs across all connected providers on the same schedule. A record change on Route53 and a record change on Cloudflare both appear in the same timeline. You don’t miss changes because you weren’t looking at the right dashboard.
Download zone files from any provider in the same format. Every snapshot is exported as a standard BIND zone file, regardless of which provider it came from. Cloudflare zones and Route53 zones produce the same output format.
Who benefits most
Agencies managing client domains. Client A is on Cloudflare, Client B is on GoDaddy, Client C’s previous developer set up Route53. You need to see all of them without maintaining a spreadsheet of which domain is where.
MSPs inheriting whatever the previous IT vendor set up. When you take over a client, their DNS is wherever the last vendor left it. You need visibility before you can make informed decisions about consolidation.
DevOps teams with infrastructure split across providers. Production on Cloudflare, staging on Route53, internal tools on a different account. Changes to any of these zones should be tracked in one place.
Anyone who’s asked “where is that domain’s DNS hosted?” If this question takes more than five seconds to answer, you need a unified view.
No per-provider pricing
Your plan covers zones across all connected providers. There’s no extra charge for connecting Cloudflare vs. Route53 vs. any other provider.
- Free — 1 zone total
- Pro ($14/mo) — 100 zones total
- Business ($49/mo) — 1,000 zones total
100 zones on Pro means 100 zones, regardless of whether they’re spread across one provider or four. The pricing is based on your total zone count, not where those zones are hosted.
Free for your first domain. No credit card required.
