Hetzner in Lemon Domains
Lemon Domains doesn't sync with Hetzner by API, so Hetzner domains come in by paste or CSV. They then sit next to your domains from every other registrar, with expiry tracking, and your AI can answer questions about them through MCP, the API and the CLI.

It takes about a minute, and you can re-import any time to refresh.
- 1Open your Hetzner account at hetzner.com and go to the domain list.
- 2If the list paginates, switch to "show all" or the largest page size so every Hetzner domain is visible.
- 3Copy the visible list, or export to CSV if Hetzner offers it from the account area.
- 4In Lemon Domains, click Import, paste the list or upload the CSV, and map the columns. Lemon Domains previews everything before it commits.
- 5Give the registrar account a friendly label (for example "Hetzner personal" or "Hetzner client work") so sub-accounts stay distinct.

Frequently asked questions
Does Lemon Domains support Hetzner domains?
Yes. Lemon Domains does not sync with Hetzner by API, so Hetzner domains come in by pasting your domain list from the Hetzner dashboard or uploading a CSV export. Re-import any time to refresh. Multiple Hetzner accounts are supported with friendly labels so sub-accounts stay distinct in the unified portfolio.
Do I need to share my Hetzner password?
No. Lemon Domains does not sync with Hetzner by API, so it never asks for any Hetzner credentials. Paste your domain list from the Hetzner dashboard or upload a CSV export. Neither needs your password.
Can I track multiple Hetzner accounts?
Yes. Add one Lemon Domains registrar entry per Hetzner account with its own friendly label. Personal and business logins, sub-accounts, and client accounts all sit side by side in one dashboard.
Does Lemon Domains renew my Hetzner domains?
No. Renewal still happens at Hetzner. Lemon Domains tracks expiry dates and auto-renew status so you know exactly when to act, but the renewal button stays at Hetzner.
Can AI assistants query my Hetzner domains?
Yes. The Lemon Domains MCP server lets ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and any MCP client query your full portfolio, including Hetzner domains, in plain English. Choose read-only or read-and-write access for each token.
Is Hetzner ICANN-accredited?
Yes. Hetzner is on the ICANN list of accredited registrars, so it can register generic extensions such as .com directly with the registries.
What is Hetzner's IANA ID?
828. The IANA registrar ID appears in the registrar field of a domain's public record, so it shows which registrar a domain is with.
What other names does Hetzner operate under?
Its accreditations are also held as Hetzner Online GmbH. Domains registered through any of them can show those names as the registrar.
Does Hetzner have an API?
Not one that account holders can use. No API for registered domains; Domain Registration Robot is web-only and the DNS API covers zones only. Hetzner domains come into Lemon Domains by paste or CSV import instead.
