We’re thrilled to announce the launch of PowerDNS Authoritative Essentials – a streamlined, enterprise-grade solution designed for organizations that require high-performance, secure, and dependable DNS for their domain portfolios.
In today’s digital infrastructure, authoritative DNS is a mission-critical component. Downtime, security lapses, or slow responses can quickly translate into major business disruptions. Whether you’re hosting websites, APIs, digital services, or connected infrastructure, your DNS must remain fast, available, secure, and under your control. PowerDNS Authoritative Essentials brings all of this together in a complete, easy-to-deploy package.
PowerDNS Authoritative Essentials provides everything you need for standardized, enterprise-grade domain management. It combines our open-source, high-performance Authoritative Server – delivering reliable domain hosting and fast query resolution – with ZoneControl, our intuitive, web-based interface for efficient domain administration.
On top of that, you’ll receive commercial support for both the Authoritative Server and ZoneControl directly from the PowerDNS team, ensuring smooth, secure, and dependable operations. The result: a proven DNS backbone with streamlined management and enterprise-class support.
Unlike our other solutions, you can purchase PowerDNS Authoritative Essentials directly from our website. You can choose from three flexible subscription options:
If you need more capacity or want to integrate additional PowerDNS products (such as Cloud Control), please get in touch. We’re happy to tailor a custom solution to your needs.
We created PowerDNS Authoritative Essentials in response to feedback from inquiries looking for a simpler, more standardized way to deploy enterprise-grade authoritative DNS. The result is an all-in-one domain management package built on trusted, reliable PowerDNS technology – offering easy, instant access and deployment at an affordable entry price point.
PowerDNS Authoritative Essentials combines widely used PowerDNS components into a streamlined offering. Subscribers use the publicly available Authoritative Server source code and gain access to the commercial ZoneControl add-on. In addition, they receive a personalized support key for direct access to our team, as well as comprehensive installation and configuration guides to help them get started quickly.
The entire package is available for online purchase, with automated access to the software. This allows us to provide commercial components, support, and SLAs without the complexity or cost of traditional enterprise offerings.
We’re excited about this new solution and will continue to refine and improve it. If this sounds interesting to you, we encourage you to check it out!
