Building the World's First User-Friendly DNS Manager: The is-cod.in DNS Panel Story

The Problem We All Face 😫

Hey dev.to fam! 👋

Ever tried getting a free subdomain for your project? Let me paint you a picture:

• Searching through GitHub repos 🔍
• Staring at confusing README files 📚
• Trying to understand DNS records 😕
• Making pull requests and waiting forever ⏳
• Getting rejected because of one tiny JSON error 😭

Sound familiar? Yeah, I've been there too.

The Birth of a Solution 💡

I'm Araan, and this exact frustration led me to create is-cod.in DNS Panel - the world's first user-friendly subdomain management platform. No more JSON editing, no more waiting for PR approvals!

Real Developer Stories 👥

"I was looking for a subdomain to test for megavault.in before purchasing one, as I was starting with a zero budget. Everywhere I looked, hosting services offered subdomains, but they all included the hosting service's name in the subdomain, which was so frustrating! But then I found is-cod.in, and it was absolutely perfect! I got my subdomain in just 3 minutes! 🎉 I was able to launch my MegaVault (formerly known as SkyVault) under this amazing subdomain, and I couldn't be happier! 😊

I highly recommend is-cod.in to anyone just starting out with a domain – it's a game-changer! 🙌 With 100% uptime and zero issues, it’s been smooth sailing all the way. Don’t hesitate, give it a try!"
