  }

var REG_NONE = NewRegistrar("none");

);
```

## Limitations

- Digitalocean DNS doesn't support `;` value with CAA-records ([DigitalOcean documentation](https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/networking/dns/how-to/create-caa-records/))
- While Digitalocean DNS supports TXT records with multiple strings,
  their length is limited by the max API request of 512 octets.
