# Dynadot

DNSControl's Dynadot provider supports being a Registrar. Support for being a DNS Provider is not included, but could be added in the future.

### Configuration

To use this provider, add an entry to `creds.json` with `TYPE` set to `DYNADOT` along with `key` from the [Dynadot API](https://www.dynadot.com/account/domain/setting/api.html).

Example:

{% code title="creds.json" %}

```json
{
  "dynadot": {
    "TYPE": "DYNADOT",
    "key": "API Key",
  }
}
```

{% endcode %}

### Metadata

This provider does not recognize any special metadata fields unique to Dynadot.

### Usage

An example configuration:

{% code title="dnsconfig.js" %}

```javascript
var REG_DYNADOT = NewRegistrar("dynadot");

DOMAIN_ELSEWHERE("example.com", REG_DYNADOT, [
    "ns1.example.net.",
    "ns2.example.net.",
    "ns3.example.net.",
]);
```

{% endcode %}

### Activation

You must [enable the Dynadot API](https://www.dynadot.com/account/domain/setting/api.html) for your account and whitelist the IP address of the machine that will run DNSControl.
