If someone would like to volunteer to implement this, please re-open this issue and add the tag `has-pr`.

We encourage you to try adding this provider yourself. We've tried to
make the process as friendly as possible. Many people have reported
that adding a provider was their first experience writing Go. The
process is documented here:

A: Following [the bug triage process](/developer-info/bug-triage), the request
is closed once it is added to this list. If someone chooses to implement the
provider, they re-open the issue.

#### Q: Would someone write a provider for me?


A: The maintainer of DNSControl does not write new providers. New providers
are contributed by the community.

DNSControl tries to make writing a provider as easy as possible. DNSControl
does most of the work for you, you only have to write code to authenticate,
download DNS records, and perform create/modify/delete operations on those
records. Please read the directions for [Writing new DNS
providers](/developer-info/writing-providers). The DNS maintainers will gladly
coach you through the process.
