About DNSMint
DNSMint provides programmable DNS identities for machines, agents, and infrastructure through a single API call. It issues hostnames on dedicated domains with DNS-01 credentials for certificate renewal, eliminating the need for manual domain purchase or DNS configuration. Hostnames are registered to user accounts and can be reassigned to new IP addresses without changing the URL. Certificates are issued and renewed automatically, including for private networks, with support for multiple certificate authorities. The service uses DNSSEC-signed domains to prevent DNS spoofing and ensures isolated domains per customer. Hostnames persist beyond the lifetime of the machine, and certificates are renewed even after the sandbox or agent is removed.

Frequently asked questions about DNSMint
What is DNSMint and what does it do?
DNSMint provides programmable DNS identities for machines, agents, and infrastructure through a single API call. It issues hostnames on dedicated domains with DNS-01 credentials for automatic certificate renewal, eliminating the need for manual domain purchase or DNS configuration.
Who is DNSMint suitable for?
DNSMint is designed for developers, agent platforms, CI/CD environments, sandboxes, containers, devices, and any use case where temporary or dynamic HTTPS endpoints are required without manual DNS management.
Does DNSMint support private networks?
Yes, DNSMint supports machines on private networks. Certificates are issued and renewed automatically using DNS-01 challenges, which do not require the certificate authority to reach the machine directly.
How does DNSMint handle certificate renewal?
Certificates are issued and renewed automatically, including for private networks. Users can either configure their own tools (e.g., Caddy, certbot) to handle renewal or request DNSMint to obtain and renew certificates on their behalf.
Can I transfer the domain to my own registrar after using DNSMint?
After 6 months on an open, paying account, users can transfer the domain to their own registrar by contacting hello@dnsmint.com from the same email associated with their account. DNS resolution and certificate management continue during and after the transfer.
What happens if I cancel my DNSMint subscription?
If you cancel, your plan runs until the end of the paid period. After cancellation, hostnames stop resolving, any certificates held by DNSMint are revoked, and the domain is not renewed. Users can inquire about keeping the domain before canceling.
