# Add DDNS/DynDNS capabilities

I have three domains on vercel and need to make two dyndns entries for my two sites. I either have to do some magic, use weird docker images or give up on using my vercel domains for dyndns.
My .dev domains costs 5$/month more than on my previous or different provider, so I'd expect to have a more premium experience.
Meanwhile, other DNS services offer this for less money.
AFAIK, all that would be needed is to update existing entries programatically with a technical user / credentials with very limited access.
(Would be used with a unify controller)

I'm not asking for a weird workaround, but for it to be officially supported. I know I'm not a big customer, but if this gets stale, i will move to a different provider.

Hey @jonasschultheiss. I shared your request with the engineering team. If you can share more about your use case, I may also be able to provide a more immediate alternative solution. :slightly_smiling_face:

I checked with the team, and they recommend using the REST API as a more expedient solution. You can find the documentation for it here: [vercel.com/docs/rest-api/endpoints/dns#update-an-existing-dns-record](https://vercel.com/docs/rest-api/endpoints/dns#update-an-existing-dns-record)
