Years of Continuous DNS Heritage

While onlydns.com is a new name, our company and its operators are the exact people who built and operated Omnis Network for 26 years.

Part of the Quantum Names family of infrastructure platforms.

26 Years of Proven DNS & Domain Expertise.

When the web hosting operation of Omnis Network was acquired by JetHost, our founding leadership and core engineering team remained together and formed Quantum Names — the parent company of OnlyDNS. We spun this project off to channel 26 years of specialized DNS and domain management mastery into a dedicated, high-availability platform.

We offer all the mission-critical capabilities you expect from the biggest operators — rapid Anycast propagation across 23 global POPs, automated DNSSEC key rotation, RFC 2136 dynamic updates, REST & MCP APIs — without the complexity, cloud lock-in, or high expense. And because Domain Names and DNS is the only thing we do, we don't do upsells.

Omnis Network Heritage Omnis Network served over 100,000 customers during its 26 years of operation.

Quantum Names Parentage Backed by a dedicated domain infrastructure family laser-focused on core DNS reliability.

Zero Upsells or Add-Ons Domain Names and DNS is all we do — no popup sales pitches or unwanted hosting add-ons.

Big-Operator Features Carrier-grade Anycast, rapid edge propagation, and automated DNSSEC without cloud console bloat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about OnlyDNS web management, developer APIs, Anycast network, and scaling.

Can I manage DNS entirely through a web browser without writing code? +

Yes! OnlyDNS provides a clean, lightning-fast web control panel designed for human domain owners and administrators. You can create domains, perform real-time inline record editing, toggle 1-click DNSSEC, and configure URL forwarding without writing a single line of code.

How does OnlyDNS support autonomous AI agents and automated workflows? +

OnlyDNS provides an official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, standard OpenAPI 3.1 endpoints, Python/Go/PHP/TypeScript SDKs, and instant API token provisioning with zero friction, allowing AI agents and CI/CD pipelines to manage DNS records autonomously.

What is included in the OnlyDNS Free Tier? +

The OnlyDNS Free Tier includes 1 domain name, 25 records, full global Anycast resolution, full web control panel and API access, and 250,000 DNS queries per month with no credit card required.

Does OnlyDNS support RFC 2136 and dynamic DNS? +

Yes, OnlyDNS natively supports RFC 2136 (TSIG) dynamic zone updates with granular subdomain scoping, allowing you to restrict keys specifically to subdomains like _acme_challenge for least-privilege automated SSL/TLS provisioning.

How fast does DNS propagation occur on OnlyDNS? +

Zone updates propagate rapidly across our global Anycast network, typically taking between 0.2 and 5 seconds to synchronize across all 23 edge nodes worldwide whether made via the web portal, CLI, or API.

Can I scale beyond the standard pricing tiers for higher volume workloads? +

Yes! OnlyDNS is built to handle enterprise fleets, domain registrars, and high-throughput agent platforms. If your workload requires higher domain limits, custom record capacities, or query volumes exceeding 25 Million queries per month (up to billions of queries), we offer custom higher-limit packages with tailored pricing, dedicated Anycast IPs, and custom SLAs. Contact our engineering team for details.

Does OnlyDNS offer free domain parking for defensive or unused domains? +

Yes! You can park any domain for free without creating an account by pointing nameservers to parking.onlydns.com and parking.onlydns.us. We automatically publish hardened anti-spoofing records (RFC 7505 Null MX, SPF -all, strict DMARC p=reject) and display a clean parked landing page with no paid advertising.
