About four years ago a bright idea came into our heads for a solution aimed at helping business owners gain better control over a heap of DNS aspects by way of skipping the cumbersome necessity to command several systems at once. This very concept catalyzed the progressive development of the product which now all of you know as DNS Manager For WHMCS. Although in its initial version the module covered merely a basic oversight of DNS zones with only 4 types of servers it was already clear that it is going to be a complete game-changer in realm of DNS management software.
Throughout the years, the original idea has blossomed into a complex state-of-the-art solution at the leading edge of the industry. For this reason we are especially proud to announce the release of long-awaited version 2.0 of DNS Manager For WHMCS! The update opens a completely new chapter in the process of development as the module has been rebuilt entirely from scratch. It has undergone extensive and thorough redevelopment both in terms of performance and appearance. We have been working round the clock for several months and devoted our all-out efforts to make sure that the final result will satisfy even the most demanding of modern business needs.
DNS Manager For WHMCS 2.0 comes with plenty of superb possibilities which bring DNS management to a whole new level of flexibility. You will enjoy these from the very beginning of your 2.0 experience. Fresh feature has been introduced already at the configuration stage. The new ability to disable a server will prevent from creating further zones on it. This will prove especially useful if server fills up, in the process of migration or in case of server failure. The update also introduces the option to enable rDNS as well as multiple PTR for numerous servers, not just for one like it was before. What is more, you will be able to store zone records in WHMCS cache which will optimize the loading time of your resources.
The focal point of DNS Manager For WHMCS 2.0 is the implementation of packages. Packages are the innovative way of linking products and servers together through various settings and limitations. You will be able to create different variants of packages to personalize your offer more precisely and adjust it dynamically to the changing needs of your clients. The solution provides a great source of flexibility as it allow you to assign multiple packages to multiple servers while multiple zones can be created under single package. Sounds convenient, doesn’t it?
The configuration of a package is extremely easy and intuitive. All you need to do is define products which purchase result in getting a package, select servers used by a package and set limits for previously chosen record types. And that’s it! What makes the whole management even more user-friendly is the fact that you no longer need to go to the client area in order to edit zones after their creation. Now you can do it directly in your admin area!
Thanks to the revamp you will be also enabled to define multiple DNS records set instead of just one! Along with it, you will be able to choose whether your clients are able to restore zone using given DNS records set as well as define which sets client can choose from for this purpose.
No less important is the fact that version 2.0 has been enriched with a dashboard which will allow you to monitor the usage of DNS servers, check the number of emails sent to your clients (which themselves are a new feature as well!) and view the most important notifications requiring your attention, e.g. zone creation failure or the outcome of cron execution. All key information at your fingertips!
We could go on and on with this introduction but there are simply too many novelties in DNS Manager For WHMCS 2.0. We strongly encourage you to take a look at the changelog to discover all new features and further improvements introduced to the module. And since the first impression is what counts the most, do not forget to share it with us!

The Milestone Release Of DNS Manager For WHMCS 2.0,
wow that looks great. the only thing what would be missing for a dns hosting would be the possibility to setup slave dns zones if the backend dns server supports that like powerdns.
I am glad to hear that Chris!
We will add this functionality to the module in version 2.1.0.
Hello Piotr,
Do you have any ETA /roadmap for the release of version 2.1.0. In fact there is 2 main thinks that’s not allowing us to upgrade to version 2.* – The first is the support of powerdns, the second is possibility to setup slave dns zones if the backend dns server supports
We are genuinely pleased to announce that PowerDNS submodule support has been restored in DNS Manager For WHMCS 2.0.1 Beta!
With regard to slave DNS zones management, its introduction is scheduled for the first quarter of 2016.
Do you has manual how to upgrade DNS Manager?
Hello Nikolay,
A complete guide through the process of module’s upgrading can be found under ‘Modules Update’ on our Wiki.
Please also note that if you have been already using DNS Manager For WHMCS, you can migrate the data between systems automatically. To do so, simply follow the steps described in DNS Manager For WHMCS Wiki under ‘DNS Manager Migrator’ section.
I can´t believe that you publish a non complete project.
You may understand that I was really surprised after realizing that there was no powerdns module anymore. I know it will be added later, anyway…
Hello Michael,
Please bear in mind that this is a Beta version of DNS Manager For WHMCS 2.0 and the development is still underway. PowerDNS module will be released in the near future.
Hello Joanna,
I am sorry, but this is promoted and advertised as the final 2.0 version, not some beta. And taking the (currently) most popular DNS server out of your supported ones with NO warning is simply unacceptable. We upgraded to 2.0 and now have to roll back our installation since our DNS infrastructure no longer works.
Either put it in big, bold letters in front of the announcement or delay the product until it contains AT LEAST the functions of its predecessor.
Hello Stavros,
We are well aware that temporary lack of PowerDNS module might put some of our clients to inconvenience therefore we do the best of our ability to implement it in the shortest possible timescale.
We have no intention of misleading or concealing any information. Complete details of each module’s functionality can be always found on its features and changelog page. You can also see the full name and exact version type of the product under ‘Downloads’ tab in our client area.
Thanks Joanna, my coworker just told me about this and the coupon code, and I was about to pull the trigger — but we rely on PowerDNS a LOT! Will it be possible to use the same discount code once PowerDNS is released? If so, that would be a deal-maker for us! Thanks!
Hello,
is there IPv6 block support included ? Can be let’s say /64 block assigned to user ? Can PTR record be assigned to any IPv6 address of this block?
Hello Randal,
This promo code has already expired but please contact us once you are ready to make a purchase and we will allow you a discount.
Hi Johann,
Unfortunately, such feature is not available in the current version of DNS Manager For WHMCS. We will, however, consider adding it in the future releases.
Good module Thanks you
