Serious DNS, zero invoices
The same infrastructure we run our own products on - open to everyone, free.
Any domain, hosted free
Bring a domain registered anywhere. Delegate it to our nameservers and manage it here - free, forever.
No domain? No problem
Register a free subdomain under dedyn.abt.nz with dynDNS - your router or a script keeps it pointed at your changing IP.
DNSSEC by default
Every zone is signed automatically. Cryptographic protection against DNS spoofing, no setup required.
REST API & scoped tokens
Automate everything: a full REST API with fine-grained tokens scoped to exactly the domains they may touch.
Clean web portal
Domains, records and tokens in a simple self-service portal. No tickets, no waiting.
Built for AI agents
A published MCP endpoint lets your AI agent create domains and edit records with its own scoped token - true to the ABT way.
From sign-up to a live zone
-
Create an account. Sign up in the portal - it takes a minute and costs nothing.

Add your domain. Add a domain you own - or register a free subdomain under dedyn.abt.nz.
-
Delegate to our NS. At your registrar, point the domain to the nameservers shown in the portal at https://abt.nz/panel/. That's the only change.
-
Manage it your way. Edit records in the portal, script the API - or hand the token to your AI agent.
