Everything you need for dev DNS

Inspired by xip.io, nip.io, and traefik.me, supercharged with custom domains and HTTPS support.

✱

Wildcard DNS Resolution

Zero config, just works

Embed any IP address in a *.devns.me subdomain and it resolves instantly. No registration, no /etc/hosts, no DNS server to configure.

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

Custom Domain + HTTPS*

Your domain, automatic certificates

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.

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
ⓘ
* Why is HTTPS only available for delegated domains?
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.
Setup

How it works

Get started in minutes. No registration required for basic wildcard DNS.

Quick Start
⚡

Use directly with DevNS.me

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.

OR
Custom Domain
1

Delegate your own domain

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.

2

Get automatic HTTPS

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.

Why HTTPS

HTTPS is essential, even in dev

More and more tools, platforms, and APIs require secure connections — even for local development.

Facebook Login & OAuth

HTTPS required for redirect URIs during login flow testing.

Apple Pay / Wallet

Apple mandates HTTPS and domain verification for Wallet passes and Apple Pay.

Google OAuth & Firebase

HTTPS is required for authentication callbacks and secure hosting.

Progressive Web Apps

Service workers and modern web APIs require secure contexts.

Browser APIs

Geolocation, clipboard, device motion — restricted to HTTPS.

Stripe & Payments

Secure connections are necessary to test payment flows and webhooks.

MCP (Model Context Protocol)

AI agent integrations may require HTTPS endpoints for secure communication.

...and many more

HTTPS is becoming a requirement across a wide range of tools and APIs.
