The process starts automatically when you transfer or add a domain to your account. Test it for yourself here:
Great support when you need it
Big yes to DNSimple. Transferred a bunch of domains to them today. They also contacted me about an issue I had the other day. Just all round great people.
@filip
After years of using other DNS providers with mixed results and frustrating experiences, we switched to DNSimple for all our domain name registration and DNS needs. The user experience is so much better and support is top notch!
Jordan Knapp, Country Maid Inc.
Kudos to Ole. Was able to diagnose my problem with AWS CloudFront. DNSimple was working perfectly all along. Reliable service and support folks who fix my “other problem” rather than just say, “it’s not us”. A sincere “Thank You” to you all.

Simple connections
Connect your productivity suite, web hosting, blog, e-commerce, all with a single click.

The tools for successful DNS automation
Offered on every plan.
ALIAS records
A virtual record that provides CNAME-like behavior on apex domains.
Anycast DNS
Faster sites. Reduces latency by advertising the same IP from different locations.
Full API access
Well documented, battle-tested libraries for you to work with.
DDoS defense
Multi-layered DDoS defense.
Reduce the risk of your application being down due to DDoS attacks.
Secondary DNS
Add redundancy to your zones by having them replicate to other DNS providers.
SSL automation
With Let’s Encrypt™, we provide a fully automated way to request, renew, and install your next single-name or SAN SSL certificate for free.
Email forwarding
Forward any email from your domain to your existing inbox.
You’re more than a .com
With a variety of top-level domains, we make finding the perfect fit even easier.
Each transfer includes a one-year extension. A DNSimple subscription is required to register, transfer, or renew domain names. Domain registration, transfer, and renewal fees are not included in your subscription.
We were able to roll out an experience our users love and continue to use in a very short period. This has increased our stickiness as a product and helped to reduce our customer churn.
