# Try It

|
|
Want to jump right in? Follow our [quick start tutorial](getting-started.md) on a new domain or [migrate](migrating.md) an existing one. Read the [language spec](js.md) for more info.

# Use It
|
|
|
|
Take advantage of the advanced features. Use macros and variables for easier updates. Upload your zones to [multiple DNS providers](providers.md).
|
|
|
|
{% hint style="success" %}
|
|
* Maintain your DNS data as a high-level DS, with macros, and variables for easier updates.
|
|
* Super extensible! Plug-in architecture makes adding new DNS providers and Registrars easy!
|
|
* Eliminate vendor lock-in. Switch DNS providers easily, any time, with full fidelity.
|
|
* Reduce points of failure: Easily maintain dual DNS providers and easily drop one that is down.
|
|
* Supports 35+ [DNS Providers](providers.md) including [BIND](provider/bind.md), [AWS Route 53](provider/route53.md), [Google DNS](provider/gcloud.md), and [name.com](provider/namedotcom.md).
|
|
* [Apply CI/CD principles](ci-cd-gitlab.md) to DNS: Unit-tests, system-tests, automated deployment.
|
|
* All the benefits of Git (or any VCS) for your DNS zone data. View history. Accept PRs.
|
|
* Optimize DNS with [SPF optimizer](language-reference/domain-modifiers/SPF_BUILDER.md). Detect too many lookups. Flatten includes.
|
|
* Runs on Linux, Windows, Mac, or any operating system supported by Go.
|
|
* Enable/disable Cloudflare proxying (the "orange cloud" button) directly from your DNSControl files.
|
|
* [Assign an IP address to a constant](examples.md#variables-for-common-ip-addresses) and use the variable name throughout the configuration. Need to change the IP address globally? Just change the variable and "recompile".
|
|
* Keep similar domains in sync with transforms, [macros](examples.md#macro-to-for-repeated-records), and variables.
