Domain Security

Taking extra-steps to make sure your domains are safe doesn't have to be complicated. DNSimple's services create all the DNS configuration needed to secure your domains – without all the extra work.

SSL certificates

Let's Encrypt SSL certificates keep your sensitive information secure. Our API fully automates request and renewal of these certificates.
