Simple DNS management, built to stay out of your way.

Developer Log

I purchased my first domain name, roga.tw, in 2005. Over time, as different needs arose, I gradually acquired more and more domain names. In the early days, domain registrars often sold domain names without necessarily providing DNS hosting services. Since my domains were registered with different registrars, managing them became quite troublesome. I eventually set up my own DNS server at home to manage my domain names. Although the setup lacked failover capabilities and my Internet connection was not particularly stable, it still managed to serve me well for several years. On February 27, 2012, I started developing my own DNS management software and rented three virtual private servers to host and manage my domains—two in the United States and one in Japan. Once the software architecture had matured and the system had become stable, I built a web-based interface for it and opened the service to the public with free registration. That service eventually became what is now known as TopDN. If you find this system useful, you are very welcome to support the project through PayPal. All donations will be used to help cover the monthly hosting costs of the virtual servers. Supporters will be acknowledged on the Honor List on this page.
