DevNS.me is a next-generation development DNS with wildcard resolution, custom domain delegation, and automatic HTTPS certificates.
Inspired by projects such as xip.io, nip.io, and more recently traefik.me, DevNS.me goes beyond simple IP-to-hostname resolution by solving the real modern challenge: providing valid, automated HTTPS for development environments through custom domain delegation, dynamic DNS management, and seamless integration with tools like Traefik.
Embed any IP address in a *.devns.me subdomain and it resolves instantly. No registration, no /etc/hosts, no DNS server to configure.
Zero configuration, just works
192-168-1-10.devns.me → 192.168.1.10
myapp-192-168-1-10.devns.me → 192.168.1.10
myapp.192.168.1.10.devns.me → 192.168.1.10
192.168.1.10.devns.me → 192.168.1.10
Delegate your own domain or subdomain by pointing NS records to our nameservers. We manage DNS dynamically for your domain, and automatically provision Let's Encrypt HTTPS certificates via DNS-01 challenge.
Your domain, automatic certificates
192-168-1-10.example.com → 192.168.1.10
app-192-168-1-10.example.com → 192.168.1.10
api-app-192-168-1-10.example.com → 192.168.1.10
TLS certificates require private keys that must remain confidential. Sharing a certificate on *.devns.me would mean distributing the same private key to all users, which violates certificate authority policies. This is why DevNS.me uses domain delegation instead: you get certificates for your own domain, with your own private keys.
Simply use any IP-embedded subdomain like myapp-192-168-1-10.devns.me and it will resolve to the corresponding IP. No setup required.
Point your domain’s NS records to ns1.devns.me and ns2.devns.me, then register your domain for free at account.devns.me. DevNS.me will dynamically manage DNS for your domain, enabling structured hostnames for every environment, project, or team.
For delegated domains, HTTPS certificates are provisioned automatically via Let’s Encrypt DNS-01 challenge. No manual steps, no renewals to manage. Use dash-style hostnames for wildcard certificate coverage.
