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?

Bind, powerdns, dnsmasq.... You COULD do it with windows DNS server or even something like a mikrotik router....

AWS has route53.. but depending on your clients someone would be paying money...

Id probably look for someone like digitalocean or cloudflare that has an API and use that.... DNS is pretty simple... Until it's not.
