1.1.1.1 from CloudFlare
or AWS if i need something complicated
I self-host to have more control.
Cloudflare and Hurricane both use anycast for fast resolving.
ClouDNS.net
I use dns from cloudflare, and cloudns. Also have premium dns from godaddy. Was using free dns from namecheap too. - all are good. Paid ones come with more features though.
Personally, I'm using Cloudflare's free DNS. Company-wise, it's Cloudflare's free DNS for forward-facing zones (domain names) and ClouDNS' DDoS-protected DNS for reverse-facing zones (reverse DNS for company-allocated public IP address space). Have had a good experience with the both of them and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
DNS hosting? I always go to cloudflare. In special cases where I need custom port where cloudflare doesn't support. Then I self host, pretty sure 99% of the people does that
1.1.1.1 / 1.0.0.1 for my home network
1.1.1.1 / 1.0.0.1 for my servers
cloudflare.com name servers if I need free cdn
google domains name servers if I don't need cdn
ClouDNS.net +1
Cloudflare
99% of people use their registrars DNS
I like https://desec.io
A mix of Hurricane Electric and our own anycast DNS cluster.
You can setup your own too especially if you need it to work properly with RBL.
Skeptical that's true...
But if you want to roll your own, I highly recommend NSD, which is very easy to setup and use. Just published a tutorial on YouTube on how to set it up.
I recommend self-hosting. Most of us have 2, 3, 4...99 idling vps, so why not use them? Anyway, as soon as you need something more complicated than simple A/AAAA-record (DNSSEC, DKIM/DMARC, etc) you have to ask support and wait.
With self-hosting dn-servers you have full controll, i.e. you can fine-tune TTL if you change records frequently, use multiple A/AAAA records for round-robin load ballancing, use dns for letsencrypt verification, etc. And finally, with setting up and administering your dn-server you learn something new!
Already too much things I need to learn...
ClouDNS.net +2
1.1.1.1/CF for mainly everything (at home, server, and vps's)
Used to use 8.8.8.8/Google, but the latency kept going higher than the others. 9.9.9.9/Quad9 has been getting better recently, need to give them a try.
1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8
Cloudflare is good, HE.net is a good alternative as well. Google Cloud DNS is good if you use Google Domains as your registrar.
I would switch to not using your registrar's nameservers for better performance and uptime as well as a general better interface for editing DNS records.
