Features and Integrations

The integration of Hetzner DNS into the Hetzner Console comes with some new features and behavioral changes, compared to the DNS Console.

New Features

  • Integration into the Hetzner Console
    You can organize your DNS zones by project, track them via a dashboard and activity history, and more. You can also invite other accounts to your project, allowing them to view and modify your zones.

  • Integration into the Cloud API
    Includes support for actions and official integrations such as hcloud CLI, hcloud-go, hcloud-python, Terraform, Ansible, external-dns and cert-manager. As API tokens are scoped per project, you can restrict access to specific zones by placing them in separate projects.

  • Support for more record types
    Those include A, AAAA, CAA, CNAME, DS, HINFO, HTTPS, MX, NS, PTR, RP, SOA, SRV, SVCB, TLSA, and TXT.

  • Zone protection
    Zones now feature an optional protection that prevents accidental deletion.

  • RRSet protection
    Similarly, RRsets feature an optional change protection that prevents modification or deletion.

  • Record comments
    Each record now has a comment field that can be used to describe the record's purpose.

  • Labels
    Like other Hetzner resources, labels can be added to both zones and RRsets.

  • TSIG
    When creating a secondary zone, you can specify transaction signature keys to use for zone transfers.

Integrations

Both the community and Hetzner have added support for the new Cloud API in many popular integrations. Please refer to the respective documentation for further details on how to migrate.

Please note that these recommendations are intended to help, but we cannot guarantee that everything will work as expected, and we do NOT provide support for integrations marked as (community).

You'll need a new API token created in Hetzner Console to use the integrations after migration. Tokens created in the old DNS Console do not work with the new Cloud API.
