PanelDNS by HostingSimple
Included Free with WordPress & Agency hosting

Add DNS to what you sell — your brand, your margin.

PanelDNS is a complete white-label DNS platform — and it's included free with every WordPress and Agency hosting plan. Give every client their own branded self-service portal, with two hosted PowerDNS nameservers and no infrastructure to run. Connect on day one and bill it straight through your WHMCS.

A new revenue line

DNS is something you already manage. Now sell it.

You're already handling DNS for every client you host. PanelDNS turns that work into a product line: set your own retail price, and since DNS comes free with your hosting, all of it is margin — recurring, every month.

Two PowerDNS nameservers come with every plan, so there's no infrastructure to stand up and nothing new to babysit.

Illustrative figures — set whatever retail pricing fits your clients.

White-label, end to end

Your clients see your brand.
Never ours.

Custom portal domain, vanity nameservers, your own logo and colours. Clients never see PanelDNS or HostingSimple anywhere — it's your platform, top to bottom.

  • Branded self-service portalA custom portal domain (dns.youragency.com) with your logo and colours. Clients manage their own records, you stay hands-off.
  • Vanity nameserversYour clients' domains point at ns1 / ns2.youragency.com — the two hosted PowerDNS nameservers included with your plan, badged as yours.
  • Sub-clients & team seatsGive each client scoped access to only their zones, and add your own team with roles. Approval workflows and RBAC keep changes controlled.
  • Approval workflows & RBACLet clients propose changes and have your team approve them — or hand over full control. You decide, per role.
Billing on autopilot

Native WHMCS modules do the
billing and provisioning for you.

PanelDNS plugs into the billing system you already run. Orders provision themselves, renewals bill themselves — you don't touch a zone file to get paid.

01

Client orders in WHMCS

A DNS product sits in your existing catalogue at your retail price. The client checks out the way they already do for hosting.

02

Provisioned automatically

The native module creates the zone, assigns your vanity nameservers, and opens the client's branded portal — no manual setup.

03

Renews & bills itself

Recurring invoices, suspensions, and upgrades flow through WHMCS automatically. You keep the margin; the system keeps the books.

WHMCS Automated billing & provisioning through the native modules — connect your install and start selling DNS the same day.
One place to manage everything

Deep DNS, across every provider
your clients already use.

Manage zones across 22 providers from a single pane — with the advanced records, automation, and monitoring that serious DNS work needs.

22 providers, one pane

Manage DNS across Cloudflare, Route 53, Azure, Google Cloud DNS, cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, PowerDNS, BIND and more — without switching dashboards.

Advanced record support

DNSSEC, ALIAS/ANAME, and IPv6 are first-class. Zone templates set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC in one move.

DNSSEC ALIAS/ANAME IPv6

Zone templates

Save a known-good record set and stamp it onto any client zone — email, verification, and hosting records, ready in seconds.

SPF DKIM DMARC

AI DNS wizard

Describe what you're trying to do in plain English and the wizard proposes the right records — a safety net for tricky setups.

Query analytics

See query volume and patterns per zone, so you can spot issues — and show clients the value they're paying for.

Geo-routing & failover

Route by region and set failover monitors that reroute automatically — with multi-provider live disaster recovery behind it.

Geo-routing Failover Live DR

Automate it all

A REST API, CLI, Terraform provider, and HMAC-signed webhooks mean your DNS work fits into the pipelines you already run.

REST API CLI Terraform Webhooks

Backups & restore

Every zone is backed up automatically, with point-in-time restore — so an accidental change is a one-click rollback, not an incident.

Multi-provider live DR

Keep a hot copy of critical zones across providers, so a single provider outage doesn't take your clients' DNS down with it.

How it works

Live, branded, and billable in four steps.

It's included with your hosting, so there's nothing to buy. Most resellers are selling DNS the same day they switch it on.

01

Switch it on

Activate PanelDNS from your WordPress or Agency hosting dashboard. It's included — nothing to buy.

02

Brand your portal

Point your portal domain, set your vanity nameservers, and drop in your logo and colours.

03

Connect a provider

Link any of the 22 supported providers and import your clients' existing zones, or start fresh.

04

Sell through WHMCS

Add the native WHMCS module, list DNS at your price, and let orders provision and bill themselves.

Reseller questions

The questions resellers actually ask.

Straight answers on white-label, billing, and what's included. Something missing? Ask us.

Do I have to pay extra for PanelDNS?

No. The full white-label platform is included free with every WordPress and Agency hosting plan — branded portals, vanity nameservers, WHMCS modules, and two hosted PowerDNS nameservers, at no extra cost. The only billing is what you charge your own clients.

Is it genuinely white-label — do my clients ever see PanelDNS?

No. Clients log into a portal on your own domain, with your logo and colours, and their domains use vanity nameservers (ns1/ns2.youragency.com). PanelDNS and HostingSimple don't appear anywhere your clients can see.

How does billing work — do you bill my clients?

No, you do. We bill your PanelDNS plan; you bill your clients through your own WHMCS at whatever retail price you set. The native WHMCS modules automate provisioning and recurring billing, so the only thing you manage is your markup.

Can my clients manage their own DNS?

Yes — that's the point of the branded self-service portal. Each client gets scoped access to only their own zones. With approval workflows and RBAC you can let them make changes freely, require sign-off, or keep control entirely in your team's hands.

Do I need to run my own nameservers?

No. Every plan includes two hosted PowerDNS nameservers — there's no infrastructure for you to stand up or maintain. You badge them as your own vanity nameservers and connect on day one.

Can I migrate my clients' existing DNS in?

Yes. PanelDNS manages DNS across 22 providers — including Cloudflare, Route 53, Azure, Google Cloud DNS, cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, PowerDNS and BIND — so you can import existing zones and manage them from one place. Multi-provider live DR and automatic backups mean the move is reversible.

How many sub-clients and team seats can I have?

Sub-clients and team seats are included, and the room you get scales with your hosting plan — from a single WordPress plan up to Agency hosting at scale. See WordPress or Agency hosting, or talk to us for exact limits on your plan.

What margin can I make?

PanelDNS is included free with your hosting, so there's no wholesale fee to subtract. You set the retail price your clients pay and keep all of it — recurring, every month.

What's the uptime SLA?

99.9–99.95% depending on your hosting plan, backed by hosted PowerDNS nameservers, with multi-provider live DR available for critical zones. The full terms are in our SLA.
