It manages A, AAAA, CAA, CNAME, MX, NS, PTR, SOA, SRV, SVCB, HTTPS, TLSA and TXT records, with an auto-scanner that imports existing zones from the public internet. Up to 25 zones are included by default, with higher limits available on request. Everything is exposed through a developer-friendly REST API, and accounts are free for new and existing Hetzner customers.
