OVHcloud DNS Integration: Simplify DMARC Deployment Across All Your Domains

6 Min Read

Managing DNS records across hundreds of domains has historically been one of the most time-consuming obstacles to DMARC enforcement. Manual TXT record creation, verification delays, and the need to switch between multiple dashboards create friction that slows down security teams and MSPs alike.

Today, we’re excited to announce that the OVHcloud DNS Integration is now officially available for all EasyDMARC customers. This integration eliminates manual DNS configuration for OVHcloud users, enabling instant domain discovery, one-click verification, and bulk deployment directly from the EasyDMARC dashboard—whether you’re managing your own domains or those of dozens of clients.

What’s New: OVHcloud DNS Integration

The OVHcloud integration joins our growing ecosystem of direct DNS provider connections, alongside Cloudflare, GoDaddy, AWS Route 53, Azure DNS, and Google Cloud. For organizations and service providers managing domains through OVHcloud—one of Europe’s largest cloud and hosting providers—this integration removes significant operational overhead from DMARC implementation.

CapabilityWhat It DoesValue for EnterprisesValue for MSPs
Instant Domain DiscoveryAutomatically scans and imports all domains associated with your connected OVHcloud accountEliminates manual domain inventory across business unitsEliminates manual discovery across multiple client accounts
Secure API AuthenticationConnects using OVH API tokens with scoped permissionsMaintains security posture while enabling automationEach client connection stays separate; no credential mixing
Bulk Select + Add & VerifySelect multiple domains, preview records, then verify all with one clickFull control with bulk efficiencyScale client onboarding without sacrificing oversight
Bulk OnboardingAdds and verifies hundreds of domains simultaneouslyScales DMARC programs across large domain portfoliosScales service delivery across entire client base
One-Click Managed SolutionsActivates DMARC, EasySPF, and BIMI without logging into OVHCentralizes email authentication in one placeCentralizes multi-tenant management without client access
Automatic DetectionPlatform detects OVH-supported domains and offers one-click verifyReduces cognitive load for security teamsEliminates manual triage of domain ownership

Why This Integration Matters: Two Perspectives

For Enterprises

Organizations with OVHcloud-hosted domains previously faced a familiar challenge: each DMARC policy update, SPF modification, or ownership verification required manual DNS changes in the OVH Manager interface. For enterprises managing hundreds of domains, this meant hundreds of manual operations—each introducing potential for syntax errors, misconfigurations, or delays.

Before Integration:

  • Security team adds domain → Creates TXT record manually in OVH → Waits for propagation → Verifies → Configures DMARC → Repeats per domain

After Integration:

  • Domain discovered automatically → One-click verify → Configure DMARC in bulk → Done

For MSPs

The efficiency gains compound exponentially when multiplied across client accounts. MSPs managing OVHcloud-hosted domains for multiple clients previously faced a fragmented workflow: logging into each client’s OVH account separately, manually creating records, and tracking progress across spreadsheets.

Before Integration:

  • Client onboarding → Request OVH access → Manual TXT per domain → Verify → Configure → Billable hours pile up

After Integration:

  • Connect once per client → Bulk discover all domains → One-click verify all → Configure across clients from single dashboard → Deliver faster, bill smarter

How It Works: Three Simple Steps

1. Connect Your OVHcloud Account

Navigate to Integrations in your EasyDMARC dashboard and select OVHcloud from the DNS provider list. You’ll be prompted to provide:

  • OVHcloud application key
  • OVHcloud application secret
  • OVHcloud consumer key

For MSPs: Create separate API credentials for each client organization. This maintains clear access boundaries and audit trails per client.

2. Discover Your Domains

Once authenticated, EasyDMARC automatically scans the connected OVHcloud account and displays all associated domains. The platform identifies which domains are already configured for DMARC and which are ready for onboarding.

3. Verify and Deploy

Once your domains are discovered, you’ll see them listed in the EasyDMARC dashboard. From here:

  • Select domains – Check the boxes next to the domains you want to add and verify (you can select one, several, or all)
  • Review existing records – For each selected domain, the platform shows you:
    • Any existing DMARC records already published
    • A preview of the new record that will be added
  • Click “Add and Verify” – This single action:
    • Automatically generates the required DNS record
    • Publishes it to your OVHcloud DNS zone via API
    • Confirms verification instantly for all selected domains

Once verification is complete, you can enable DMARC, EasySPF, or BIMI for individual domains or in bulk—all without leaving the EasyDMARC interface.

This gives you full visibility and control before any DNS changes are made, ensuring you always know exactly what will be published.

MSP Workflow: Managing Multiple Clients

The OVHcloud integration is designed with multi-tenant operations in mind:

MSP TaskHow Integration Helps
Client onboardingConnect once per client; all domains discovered instantly
Domain verificationOne-click verify across all client domains in bulk
Ongoing managementUpdate DMARC policies across clients without OVH access
Billing efficiencyReduce per-client setup time from hours to minutes
Service expansionOffer DMARC as a higher-margin managed service

Getting Started

The OVHcloud DNS Integration is available now to all EasyDMARC customers on Enterprise and MSP plans. To enable it:

  1. Log in to your EasyDMARC dashboard
  2. Navigate to Settings → Integrations → DNS Providers
  3. Select OVHcloud and click Connect
  4. Follow the prompts to generate and enter your OVH API credentials
  5. Begin discovering and verifying domains immediately

What’s Next

The OVHcloud integration is part of our continued investment in making DMARC deployment as frictionless as possible for enterprises and service providers. In the coming months, we’ll be adding support for additional DNS providers and expanding our one-click verification capabilities to cover even more deployment scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to create separate API tokens for each domain?

No. A single OVH API connection gives visibility into all domains associated with that OVH account.

What permissions does EasyDMARC need?

The integration requires API access to read domain lists and modify DNS records. EasyDMARC requests minimum necessary permissions and never accesses other OVH services.

How should MSPs structure OVH connections for multiple clients?

Create separate OVH API credentials for each client organization. Connect each to EasyDMARC as a distinct integration. This maintains clear access boundaries, separate audit trails, and clean client separation.

Can I use this if my client’s OVH account uses two-factor authentication?

Yes. API authentication operates separately from console 2FA. Generate API tokens directly within the client’s OVH account with appropriate permissions.

What happens if a client disconnects me?

Disconnecting removes EasyDMARC’s ability to modify DNS records in that client’s OVH account. Existing DMARC records remain published; you simply lose update capability.

Does this work with OVH’s European and North American regions?

Yes. The integration works with all OVHcloud regions and data centers.
