Linode DNS support

Linode joins the list. With it, DNScheck now works with six providers: Cloudflare, DigitalOcean, AWS Route 53, Hetzner, Vultr, and Linode.

Setup

In the Linode Cloud Manager, go to Profile → API Tokens and create a personal access token. It only needs Domains access, read/write if you want to edit records from DNScheck. Nothing else on the account is touched.

Paste the token into DNScheck under Providers → Connect provider → Linode.

How it works

Same as the other providers. Five-minute sync, a full per-record history, and alerts by email, Telegram, or webhook when something changes.

Linode serves every domain from ns1.linode.com through ns5.linode.com. DNScheck checks that your domain's live NS records still point there, so a registrar change that quietly moves the domain off Linode doesn't go unnoticed.

Six providers

Since June we've added Route 53, Hetzner, Vultr, and now Linode. If you run DNS somewhere we don't support yet, tell us where. Most of the provider requests we got came from people who split their domains across two or three providers and wanted one place to watch all of them. That use case works now.
