DigitalOcean's DNS hosting service that manages authoritative DNS records for domains, including A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, and SRV records. Records can be programmatically managed via the DigitalOcean API and can reference Droplets, Load Balancers, and other resources by name for automatic IP resolution.
A team manages their DNS for api.example.com using DigitalOcean Managed DNS. When they reassign a Reserved IP to a new Droplet, the DNS A record automatically points to the same static IP — no manual DNS update required. They also create an MX record pointing to SendGrid for transactional email.
