Self hosted DNS solution (alien.top)

So I have 100+ websites I manage for various clients, and it is a pain for me to login to their hosting or domain registrar accounts to manage their DNS.

Is there a simple solution, where I can turn on my own server that manages DNS? So for every domain I manage, I simply set a DNS once as ns1..com, and from thereon I can just manage their DNS configurations?

Can you make an example why selfhostig DNS is scary?

Externally. Why not take use of the good options out there and make it easier for yourself?

That’s not an example. Can you please make a technical example, thanks.

Basically letting Cloudflare take ownership over DNS. So much better then logging into x amount of different domain registrars web management panels. Its not really directly comparing to your BIND solution. But a lot better then what he/she currently struggles with.
