Mythic Beasts Secondary DNS review
A focused free secondary DNS service for eligible Mythic Beasts customers.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Mythic Beasts Secondary DNS provides authoritative secondary DNS for domains registered through Mythic Beasts and for customers using its dedicated servers, virtual dedicated servers, or colocation services. It is designed for teams that operate their own primary nameserver and want a secondary service to receive and serve transferred zones. The service is managed through a web-based Customer Control Panel, with an HTTP API available for domain administration.
Its core technical fit is clear: zones can be transferred using AXFR, while DNS NOTIFY messages can signal updates from the primary nameserver. The service provides both IPv4 and IPv6 transfer endpoints, which suits environments that need dual-stack connectivity. API operations cover adding, removing, and listing domains, giving customers an automation path alongside control-panel configuration. This makes it a practical match for operators who already understand primary-secondary DNS workflows and want a narrowly focused supporting service.
The published plan is free for domains registered through Mythic Beasts and is also available to eligible server and colocation customers. That pricing model keeps the offering straightforward, but eligibility is tied to the vendor’s customer relationships rather than being presented as a general-purpose secondary DNS service for any domain owner. Choose it if you need free secondary authoritative DNS, AXFR, NOTIFY, IPv4 and IPv6 endpoints, and API management within the Mythic Beasts ecosystem. Choose an alternative if you need a provider-independent service, a managed primary DNS platform, or broader DNS operations beyond secondary hosting.
