A <span class="text-hilight px-1">single interface</span> to view and manage your zones, both internal <span class="text-nowrap">(Bind, ...)</span> and public <span class="text-nowrap">(OVH, Gandi, ...)</span>.

SSH and a text editor for the internal zones, a different web console for each public provider. Same records, completely different tools.

A bad record propagates in seconds. Recovering means digging through backups or your memory, while the service is down.

{{< usage-point icon="inboxes" title="Every change lands on you" >}}

You're the only one trusted to touch DNS, so every record request becomes a ticket in your queue.

Whatever the host of your zones, happy<span class="fw-bold">Domain</span> displays them in the same clear way, limiting errors.
|
|
|
|
Install happy<span class="fw-bold">Domain</span> next to your Bind or PowerDNS and enjoy the interface without changing your configuration. <span class="text-muted">(coming soon)</span>

Before publishing, happy<span class="fw-bold">Domain</span> shows you exactly what will change. A preview that avoids many mistakes, on zones where mistakes are expensive.
|
|
|
|
You can even select which changes go out now and which ones should wait.

|
|
Every version of every zone is kept, with who changed what and when.
|
|
|
|
When something breaks, you don't reconstruct the previous state from backups: you roll the zone back to it in one click, then investigate calmly.

With built-in checkers, happy<span class="fw-bold">Domain</span> keeps an eye on your domains and zones around the clock: registration expiry, DNSSEC validity, delegation consistency, TLS certificates, response times and more.
|
|
|
|
Each check is evaluated against clear rules and reported as <span class="fw-bold">OK</span>, <span class="fw-bold">Warning</span> or <span class="fw-bold">Critical</span>, so you spot what needs attention at a glance and get notified the moment a check changes state.

Whether it's permanent or in preparation for a particular event, happy<span class="fw-bold">Domain</span> lets several people collaborate on the same zone.
|
|
|
|
Delegate all or only part of a zone, down to a single record. The routine requests leave your queue; the control stays with you.

Looking for an interface that displays reverse IPv4/IPv6 zones in a human way?
|
|
Or a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNSBL">Real-time Blackhole List (DNSBL)</a> zone? Or DNS <a href="https://www.dnsrpz.info/">Response Policy Zones</a> (DNS-RPZ)?
|
|
|
|
happy<span class="fw-bold">Domain</span> understands them and lets you manage them unequivocally.
