I'm using bunny dns for some of my domains, no issues so far.
Anybody using vultr dns?
I did, its extremely basic but fine.
Support was not able to tell me whether you have to keep active paid services with them to utilize it or not, so yeah, its provided as it is and they aren't really open about its capabilities.
Wouldn't trust in prod.
No need to keep a service active. I'm using it since around 2 years without any active service, managing more than 10 zones.
90 % sure it's just fee
They have not set a price yet since it's in beta. There is no ETA for the launch yet. You can discuss it with them.
If you are looking for SSL certs: https://github.com/mwt/certbot-dns-bunny
They have auto ssl. But wildcard is not supported.
Thank you. will check with them.
Not in a hurry, let them publish the prices. otherwise it will be risky to go with.
Does Bunnynet DNS have limit of the amount of records in a zone?
This is the response I received from Bunny.net few months ago.
Hello **,
Thank you for contacting http://bunny.net/">bunny.net
I can confirm that we do not have any limits on how much you can add for the DNS zones and DNS records.
Please do let us know if there's anything else we can assist you with.
Best Regards,
Renz
can we use it (dns) without bunny cdn?
You can. I'm using DNS only without any CDN setup.
Yes.
I don't use the cdn at the moment
Last time I checked, you were supposed to have a running server with them to use it.
In practice, if you have an account you can use it with no active service. They might not allow this forever (i.e. if too many people do that) but probably have no reason to care much as it cost them virtually nothing to run.
Yeah, I imagine having someone passively use it costs way less than they stand to gain, considering you're more likely to use a Vultr product if you have an active account with them compared to if you didn't
I'd be suprised if they kicked out free users
Maybe they'd gain from requiring a connected card/some billing method
But kicking out DNS users wouldn't make sense, imagine someone hosting 100s of domains on there and basically destorying a compute to create a new one in another location, and for a minute not have any service, it would probably hurt their reputation too to shove a big timer up the user's face with "create a compute within x days or we remove your domains"
But yeah, that's all speculation
I started using Bunny.Net for a new domain registered a week ago . The domain is not even live. Did not add A record for the main domain so (domain.com and www.domain.com does not even resolve).
Just have 4 A records for subdomain that I am using as hostname to ssh into server. I even set TTL for 1 day. But their Panel shows I have 115K queries in just last 7 days.
Something does not make sense. Are they over calculating ? The domain should not be having that many queries.
Last time I tried CloudNS, their anycast behaved really weirdly. For me, DNS lookups from Australia were being routed to the US east coast even though they had a PoP in Australia! That went on for months after I reported the issue... For sites that primarily target Aussies, I ended up self-hosting using two VPSes in Australia which ended up being much faster than CloudNS was...
I'm currently using DNS Made Simple but I signed up before the Digicert acquisition, when a "business" (second lowest) plan was $60/year. Now a similar plan is $675/year! I renewed a few years at the old price but I guess I'll switch to another provider eventually. Their service is good though - very fast servers and changes seem to propagate across all their servers instantly.
One of my domains has hundreds of records, and some otherwise good hosts (like DNSimple) have a limit of 100 or 200 per domain. I also need about 5 million lookups per month.
I also like running my own hidden primary server and using the DNS hosting service as a secondary via AXFR. A lot of DNS hosts don't offer that as an option
Route53/Rage4?
Ping me if you want to try Rage4
I also transferred one of my domains over there about a week ago, not much traffic (mainly mail) with 5min TTL - stats show 3k requests until now (more than half of them MX which makes sense).
You can see the type of queries in the statistics overview, maybe it help to track down the culprit.
Which provider is better for anycast dns?
I wish Bunny were a solid competitor to Cloudflare, but Cloudflare has just so many features and services it's very hard. Also I get a shit-ton of stuff for free with Cloudflare. Very hard to compete with them IMO.
Does Bunny offer a free version?
Without a proxy and caching feature similar to Cloudflare, there is no point, there are too many similar free DNS providers out there.
