PD PowerDNS for WHMCS and Blesta

Full PowerDNS management inside WHMCS or Blesta

If your infrastructure runs on PowerDNS nameservers, PD PowerDNS brings every zone and record under your WHMCS or Blesta admin — and gives your customers a clean, self-service Manage DNS portal so they can add and update their own records without opening a support ticket.

The admin panel your team needs

Connect your PowerDNS server once and every DNS zone appears immediately — no import, no sync, no manual setup per zone. The list pages server-side, so performance stays consistent whether you have ten zones or ten thousand.

Open any zone and you get a full record editor with live filtering by type and name. Changes write directly to your PowerDNS server — there is no local cache to get out of sync.

A type-aware editor that prevents mistakes

Choosing a record type in the editor shows exactly the right fields for that type — and only those fields. An MX record gets a priority and a mail server target; an SRV record gets all four SRV fields; a TXT record gets a content area with the right length validation. Built-in validators prevent a malformed record from being saved.

Supports A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SRV, CAA, PTR and more.

DNSSEC in two clicks

Enable DNSSEC on any zone with a single button. PD PowerDNS surfaces the DS record and DNSKEY details in a copy-ready block so you or your customer can hand them straight to the registrar. Disable it just as easily — without leaving WHMCS or Blesta.

Customer self-service that reduces tickets

Bind any zone to a WHMCS or Blesta client and a Manage DNS link appears in their client portal — on their domain page, their service page, or in the navigation. Customers use the same type-aware editor to add, edit and delete their own records, without support involvement and without any access to your PowerDNS server.

The link and wording are configurable; the page renders on all bundled WHMCS or Blesta themes.

Zone backups — automated, point-in-time, per zone

Scheduled BIND-format snapshots of every zone run automatically. Set how often they run, how many to keep per zone, and an optional age cap. Restore any zone to a previous state in one click. Download any snapshot as a standard BIND zone file. Take an on-demand backup before bulk changes.

Auto-provision DNS on domain registration

Turn on auto-provisioning and a DNS zone is created on your PowerDNS server automatically whenever a customer registers or transfers a domain, or orders a service. Restrict it to specific TLDs with the per-provider TLD takeover list. Failures are logged and never interrupt registration or provisioning.

Templates, packages and reverse DNS

Save a standard set of records — SPF, DKIM, DMARC, hosting A records — as a template and apply it to any zone in one click. PowerDNS also supports zone templates natively, so a standard record set can be saved and applied to new zones as they are created. Set per-product-group zone quotas with packages. Manage PTR records for your IP ranges in the Reverse DNS panel.
