itoka Yoruba, noun pointer
Point your domain.
It's live in seconds.
Free DNS on our own nameservers, domains priced in Naira, and an API for everything. Built in Nigeria for the developers who set up everyone else's domains.
.com, .net and .org, with the renewal price shown up front. .ng is coming once we're accredited by NiRA.
“My web guy has my domain.”
Every business owner has heard it. The developer registered the domain in their own account, then moved on, and the renewal reminders went with them. On Itoka you can buy and run a client's domain without ever owning it.
Your client owns it, you manage it
Buy for a client and they get an invitation to take ownership. You keep editing records as a manager.
Handing over is a button
The domain, its DNS and its history move to their account in one step. Nothing changes at the registry.
Anyone can pay the renewal
Reminders go to the owner and every manager, each with a pay link the boss or the accountant can use, by card or bank transfer.
Two steps, then Itoka takes over
- 1
Prove it's yours
Publish one TXT record where the domain's DNS lives now. Itoka creates the zone and copies the records your current host serves, so you can check everything first.
- 2
Point your nameservers here
At your registrar, replace every nameserver with these two:
ns1.itoka.ngns2.itoka.ng See it go live
Itoka checks the registry and the parent zone separately and shows the moment delegation goes live, no refreshing needed. Bought your domain here? It's live already.
The DNS editor we wanted for our own domains
Move without breaking anything
Itoka copies the records your current DNS host serves and shows what isn't copied yet, before you switch nameservers. Paste a zone file for the rest.
Errors that explain themselves
A CNAME at the apex, an MX pointing at an IP: Itoka says what's wrong, why, and offers the fix while you type.
One-click presets
Google Workspace, Zoho Mail, Vercel, Coolify and SendByte. Clashes are flagged first, and SPF records are merged instead of overwritten.
Watch it reach everyone
See what ns1, ns2, Google, Cloudflare and Quad9 answer for a record, and when every resolver will have your change.
Delegation you can watch
After a nameserver change, Itoka checks the registry and the parent zone separately and tells you the moment it goes live, or what to fix.
An audit log for every change
Who changed what and when, with the record before and after, whether it came from a person, a key, a preset or Itoka itself.
Everything in the dashboard is an API call
Create zones, edit records and apply presets from deploy scripts, CI or your own app. Keys are limited to the zones and permissions they need, down to keys that can only answer certificate challenges.

Add a domain.com · .net · .org
AvailableA low first year, with the renewal price shown before you pay, so nothing surprises you a year later. DNS is ready the moment you pay, and you can move the domain away whenever you like.
Search a domain.ng · .com.ng
After NiRA accreditationWe're applying to NiRA, the .ng registry, to register these directly. Until then, host the DNS for a .ng domain you already own here, free.
Itoka is Yoruba for pointer. DNS records are pointers.
