Expanded FAQ with email security, monitoring, and more

June 28, 2026
Improvement

The Frequently Asked Questions page now covers a lot more: setting up SPF and DMARC with the guided wizard, monitoring your hosts with Fleet, how quickly IP updates take effect, publishing custom-domain record changes, using international (non-Latin) names, and IPv6/dual-stack setup — with an on-page menu to jump straight to each section.

Use internationalized names for domains, hostnames, and records

June 18, 2026
Improvement

You can now create and view domains, free DynDNS hostnames, and DNS records using their native script — Danish characters like ø, å and æ, German ones like ä, ö, ü and ß, or any internationalized name. Type the readable form and it just works; we still store and serve the canonical "xn--" form for DNS, and show it on hover.

Safer domain deletion — live nameserver check

April 21, 2026
Improvement

Deleting a domain from KyedNS now goes through a confirmation page that runs a live nameserver lookup against public resolvers. If your registrar still points at KyedNS, deletion is blocked with an explanation — otherwise we would silently break DNS resolution for your domain. The domain details page also has a visible Delete button for the first time, so you don't have to hunt for it under Settings.

Homepage Bookmark destination now editable on the hostname page

April 21, 2026
Improvement

Set or change the destination URL for your Homepage Bookmark directly on the hostname page — no detour through Settings. The panel that shows the bookmark URL now has the destination field right next to it.

Cleaner domain view: grouped records and collapsible activity log

April 18, 2026
Improvement

DNS records on the domain page are now grouped by purpose (email delivery, email auth, AWS verification, TLS, DynDNS, website, other) with collapsible sections and an expand/collapse-all toolbar. The activity log is collapsed by default and fetches on demand, so the page loads faster. Submit buttons now show a visible "working…" state so a second click can't re-fire a request.

Smarter DNS record forms

April 10, 2026
Improvement

Record forms now show type-specific fields for all record types. SRV and CAA have structured inputs so you don't need to remember the format. Custom record types (NS, TLSA, SSHFP, etc.) are now deployed to DNS automatically.

Propagation check includes KyedNS nameservers

April 10, 2026
Improvement

The DNS propagation checker now shows results from our own authoritative nameservers alongside public resolvers, so you can see exactly when your changes are live.

Fresh look across all pages

April 08, 2026
Improvement

Every page now uses consistent typography, colors, and spacing. Cleaner tables, compact buttons, a calmer dark navbar that stays fixed as you scroll, and styled pagination throughout. The API documentation page got a complete refresh too.

Dashboard redesigned as monitoring control room

April 08, 2026
Improvement

Your dashboard now shows system health at a glance. Three status cards (Domains, Dynamic DNS, DNS Servers) turn green when everything is healthy and surface problems immediately when something needs attention. An activity stream shows recent changes across all your resources.

Faster DNS propagation check

April 05, 2026
Improvement

The propagation checker now queries all 8 global DNS resolvers in parallel instead of one at a time. Typical check time dropped from 10-40 seconds to about 3 seconds.
