Use your own DigitalOcean DNS account to serve your domains' DNS

Create a DigitalOcean personal access token with read and write access and connect it, so your domains' DNS is served from your own DigitalOcean account.

What connecting it does for you

Connecting your own DigitalOcean account lets a domain's DNS be served from your account instead of ours. You keep the zone, the bill and the vendor dashboard; we create and update the records your sites and mailboxes need, so you do not copy them by hand.

Before you start

A DigitalOcean account with your domains added under Networking → Domains, or ready to add them.

1. Create the key at DigitalOcean

In the DigitalOcean Control Panel, open API, then the Tokens tab, and in Personal access tokens choose Generate New Token. Name it, choose an expiry, and give it Full Access — or, with Custom Scopes, read and write access to domains. Press Generate Token and copy it; DigitalOcean shows it once.

2. Connect it here

Open Integrations in your dashboard and choose Connect an account. Pick Your own DNS as the group and DigitalOcean DNS as the account, fill in API token, and press Connect account.

We test what you paste before anything is saved. A key that does not work is never stored, and the answer says what was wrong with it. A key that works is kept encrypted in our secrets vault — never in our database — and is never shown again, not even to you.

What happens next

  • On any domain, open its DNS tab and choose this account as where the domain's
  • DNS is served from. We create the zone there if it does not exist and write the records the domain's sites and mail need.

  • When something on our side changes what a record must say — you move a site, switch CDN or
  • add a mailbox — we update the record on your account.

  • To finish the move, your domain's nameservers must point at DigitalOcean. If the domain is
  • registered with us, or at a registrar you have connected, we set them for you; otherwise the domain's page shows the nameservers to set.

  • When you connect, we check that the key can list your zones, read records and change records.
  • The checklist beside the connection shows which of those we could confirm.

If it does not connect

It connects, then the first record change fails. The token is Read Only. A read-only token connects successfully, because listing works; generate one with write access.

It stopped working. The token reached the expiry you chose. Generate a new one.

It says the key was rejected. Almost always one of three things: a space or a line break copied with it, a key that has expired, or a key that was revoked or regenerated after you copied it. Create a fresh one and paste it again.

It connects, but something later fails. The key authenticates but lacks a permission the action needs. Create a new key with the permissions listed above, then disconnect the old connection and connect the new key.

Disconnecting

Open Integrations, find the account and press Disconnect. That deletes the stored key at once. Anything that was using it stops at its next action, and the screens that depended on it say so rather than failing quietly.

Disconnecting does not undo what was already done — records, deployments or settings we changed on your account stay as they are. If you think the key itself may have leaked, also revoke it at the vendor; disconnecting removes our copy, not theirs.
