    @linux @stop how?? Your own DNS server? Got suggestions?

    @lopu you can make your personal DNS server, there are plenty of different programs out there (bind9 seems to be fairly popular). Anyone can do it.
    Of course, you're gonna be the only one who uses it, so you're not gonna redirect the world's queries to google.com to your own website anytime soon - unless you somehow managed to convince everyone to use your server too.

    @endor yeah I know lol I've been considering setting up my own but I'm worried about the performance costs and costs themselves. I could probably put it on one of my free tier aws servers.

    I just wanted a way to bulk edit DNS entries and the only GUI I found for that on a hosted solution was namecheap but that would mean paying transfer fees for all my domains. CloudFlare only has bulk modifying via API but it is free to transfer. And then I realise GoDaddy already has an API so I just built a little program to do my bulk modifications. But GoDaddy has a minimum ttl of 600 seconds so it is frustrating to test. Luckily I have a spare domain for testing

    @lopu i used bind, but now i use powerdns. The editing of domains is with an database backend much easier. and an reload is not needed. It also has an API to edit domains( useful for letsencrypt).

    @lopu unless you're planning to sustain thousands upon thousands of requests per second for thousands upon thousands of different domains, even the AWS free tier vps will easily sustain whatever usage you're planning. Hell, you'll have to worry about traffic usage (and its costs) long before you'll have to worry about performance.
