DNS Update Specifications

You can update your DNS Record(s) with a simple HTTP or HTTPS (recommended) request to our server. You can use this information to build your own update client. If you develop your client, we'd love to review it and post it here. Please contact us if you've built your own update client.

Update Specs
Script URL: http(s)://dnsup.sitelutions.com/dnsup

Arguments to be passed in the URL (GET querystring):
  • user
         Your e-mail address as registered with our system (address you use to login).
  • pass
         Your password that you use to login.
  • id
         The record ID of the A record you'd like to update. Multiple IDs can be separated by a comma (",") character.
  • ip
         The new IP address for this record.
  • detectip
         If this parameter is set to "1", the ip parameter is ignored, and the record is updated with the IP address that originated the HTTP request.
  • ttl
         Optional field for time-to-live. If not provided, record's TTL is not changed.
