DomainConnect
DomainConnect is an open standard that makes it easy for a user to configure DNS for a domain running at a DNS provider to work with a Service running at an independent Service Provider.
It is published under the MIT license. It was designed and is being maintained by a community of developers across multiple companies.[1]
Background
Most services require changes to the DNS settings associated with a domain, and users don’t understand DNS, as it is complex and presents many difficulties.
Domain Connect is a protocol that makes this easier for the user, and more consistent across providers. The protocol involves two parties. DNS Providers who run DNS for a domain, and Service Providers who provide the services and applications attached to domains.
Domain Connect was created to solve this problem. The protocol presents a simple experience to the user, isolating them from the details of DNS settings and its complexity. By implementing a standard interaction between all Service Providers and all DNS Providers it eliminates the need for each relationship between a Service Provider and DNS Provider to be customized.[1]
