koigrid vs Vercel DNS
Manage DNS records for your own domains as code — the bring-your-own-provider alternative to Vercel DNS and Cloudflare DNS.
Vercel and Cloudflare let you manage DNS in their dashboard — but your zone lives in their account. koigrid takes the opposite, no-lock-in path: connect the zone you already own (bring your provider token), and koigrid gives you one unified API, CLI and dashboard to CRUD records (A/AAAA/CNAME/TXT/MX/NS) — perfect for an AI agent that wires up domains as code. Your zone stays yours; koigrid never holds it hostage.

What koigrid improves
Your zone stays yours
BYO provider means the zone lives in your account — disconnect koigrid any time with zero migration.
DNS as code, by agent
One unified API to CRUD records — an agent wires up a domain end to end.
No new lock-in
Works with the Cloudflare zone you already have; no vendor DNS to migrate onto.
Frequently asked questions
Is koigrid cheaper than Vercel DNS?
koigrid is flat-rate with bandwidth included — no per-GB egress or per-request fees. For a comparable setup you usually pay a lot less (see the estimate above).
Can I migrate from Vercel DNS without lock-in?
Yes. koigrid runs on portable primitives — standard PostgreSQL, S3-compatible storage and containers — so you can move in (or out) whenever you want.
Where is my data hosted?
In data centers in the EU, on servers we run ourselves. The privacy policy says exactly where.
Can I run everything from an API or an AI agent?
Yes — koigrid is API-first and agent-native: every action has an API and a scoped token, with llms.txt and OpenAPI so an LLM can operate it end to end.
