Comprehensive DNS Records Management

At the core of DNSRedo.com is the DNS Records tab, a central hub for managing every record across all your domains. Users gain real-time visibility into all DNS records, whether they are A, CNAME, MX, TXT, or any other type. Key features include:

Search and Filter: Quickly find specific records or filter by type and status to focus on what matters.

Add Record: Easily create new DNS records directly from the dashboard.

AI Assistant: Leverage AI DR.DNS to get suggestions for optimization, best practices, and potential issues.

Refresh and Backup from Provider: Keep your DNS records synchronized with the provider and back up current configurations at any time.

The dashboard also provides aggregated metrics for domain managers:

Total Domains: Track all domains under management.

DNS Records: Count of all DNS records, including propagated and pending updates.

Propagation Status: Monitor DNS changes globally to ensure updates take effect efficiently.

Issue Tracking: Instantly spot problems with records that could impact performance or deliverability.

By centralizing DNS record management, DNSRedo.com eliminates the need to log into multiple provider consoles and ensures consistency and accuracy across all domains.

Domain Backups: Protecting Your Digital Assets

DNSRedo.com takes DNS security seriously. The Domain Backups tab allows users to create, manage, and compare backups of DNS records for each domain. This ensures that even in the event of misconfigurations, accidental deletions, or provider issues, domain configurations can be restored quickly and safely.

Key Backup Features:

  • Manual Backup Creation: Users can manually create backups of current DNS configurations at any time, ensuring that critical updates are never lost.
  • Domain Selection: Backups are organized by domain, allowing managers to focus on the most important assets.
  • Filters & Search: Quickly locate backups based on domain or date, with sorting options to track historical changes.
  • Backup Count: DNSRedo.com keeps a complete history — the platform in this example has 213 backups across 11 domains, allowing for precise version control.

Compare Backups

One of DNSRedo.com’s unique features is the ability to compare two backups from the same domain. This allows users to:

See exactly what changed between backups, including additions, deletions, or modifications to DNS records.

Audit changes for compliance or operational accuracy.

Restore only the parts of the configuration that require correction, minimizing downtime and risk.

By integrating these backup and comparison capabilities, DNSRedo.com ensures that users have full control and confidence over their DNS environments.

AI-Powered Insights and Automation

Both the DNS Records and Domain Backups sections are enhanced by AI DR.DNS, an intelligent assistant that helps users:

Identify outdated or misconfigured records

Recommend optimizations for performance and reliability

Automate routine backup scheduling and restoration processes

This combination of human control and AI assistance creates a proactive DNS management environment, reducing errors, saving time, and improving operational efficiency.

DNS Protection: Safeguard Your Domains

DNSRedo.com’s Protection tab is designed to give domain owners peace of mind by monitoring and securing domains against unauthorized changes. Security and reliability are critical — a single misconfiguration or malicious update can take a website offline or disrupt email delivery. DNSRedo ensures your domains are continuously protected with automated checks and alerts.

Key Features of the Protection Center

Total Protection Visibility: Instantly see how many of your domains are protected versus unprotected. In the example setup, all 11 domains are actively secured.

Automated Checks: Run checks on a configurable interval (e.g., every hour) to detect unauthorized DNS changes quickly.

Alert Configuration: Receive notifications via email for any suspicious activity. Multiple email addresses can be configured to ensure the right team members are notified immediately.

Bulk Protection Settings: Apply protection rules to multiple domains at once, simplifying administration for teams managing dozens of domains.

Enable / Disable Protection: Flexible options let administrators manage which domains are actively monitored and protected at any time.

By combining automated monitoring with customizable alerts, DNSRedo’s Protection Center ensures that domain changes are always authorized and safe, preventing costly downtime or misconfigurations.

Maintenance Mode: Seamless Domain Updates

Sometimes, planned updates or website maintenance require temporarily taking a domain offline. DNSRedo’s Maintenance Mode tab provides a flexible, customizable system for creating and managing maintenance pages.

Features of Maintenance Mode

Custom Pages: Create maintenance pages using templates or write fully custom HTML. Options range from simple “Basic” templates to Professional or Fun styles.

Saved Pages & Activity Logs: Track all maintenance pages you’ve created and review past activity for auditing purposes.

Preview & Edit: See exactly how your maintenance page will appear to visitors before publishing.

Bulk Application: Apply maintenance mode to multiple domains at once, perfect for enterprises managing several websites simultaneously.

Maintenance Mode ensures that users visiting your domains during updates always see a professional, branded page, protecting your reputation while work is completed in the background.

Why Protection and Maintenance Matter

By integrating Protection and Maintenance Mode alongside core DNS management and backups, DNSRedo.com provides complete operational control over your domains. Teams can:

  • Prevent unauthorized changes
  • Respond quickly to incidents
  • Keep users informed during updates
  • Maintain uptime and brand professionalism

Combined with AI DR.DNS and enterprise-friendly features like bulk configuration and team management, DNSRedo positions itself as the ultimate platform for modern DNS operations, balancing security, reliability, and user experience.
