Hmm, already moved from ClouDNS to Bunny DNS.
How are you finding it?
IDK, Bunny DNS pretty similar with ClouDNS. But CloudFlare is better overall.
I am going to have to look into the market again then, thanks.
Sure
I don't have any problems with ClouDNS right now, but I will pay closer attention over the next few days and post an update if I notice something. Also, I'm using paid services there, not the free services, so that might be a factor. It has been very solid for me. I was just editing some zone details yesterday and it was smooth as butter.
As for Bunny DNS, I would not put them in the same class as ClouDNS at this point, but there is nothing bad about them. But for production, mission-critical stuff, I'd stick with ClouDNS over Bunny any day of the week. At least for now.
And just comparing the two, I find ClouDNS has many more features, and it supports all the specs I need for production DNS. Your needs may be different. And again, I'm using the paid version. Also, Bunny DNS is still technically in "preview", and as of the last time I checked it still doesn't support DNSSEC, and I found it to be sorely lacking in advanced features. Even the redirect didn't work well for me when I tried it and the stats have reset on me twice. So it's not something I'd trust 100% for critical stuff. Yet. And they don't claim perfection and still show a "preview" label on their DNS, so that's fine in my case. However, Bunny's actual performance and reliability has been fine, and I think eventually it will be a really good DNS service. But for now I consider it a backup kind of service.
Anyway, YMMV, and everyone needs different things.
I haven’t noticed any problems. I just had to update a very large zone a few minutes ago.
For us, searching via the web panel has defiantly been slower. however API use or updating/creating records seems to be the same. API operations seem to be also the same. Cant comment on actual DNS response times
Defiantly? Has an argumentative AI invaded the ClouDNS web panel?
JK
Haha damn fat fingers + auto correct killing me right now XD
Happens to me all the time.
I just happen to love the "defiantly" auto-correct when it pops up, I couldn't resist a comment.
Are you using their DNS with anycast network? It should be a up to 10 ms globally, you may check latency using https://ping.sx/dig
Tried their GeoDNS, didn't like it, it was all over the place. Rage4's is much more precise.
In terms of zone updates, they are quite fast.
The only slow thing I've noticed, is their Redirect record. Since I'm using GeoDNS I have to avoid CNAME Flattening on the root of the domain by using the www subdomain, so the root has to redirect to the subdomain. Now instead of adding the IP of my machine that can be over 200ms away, I wanted to use CloudDNS's custom redirect record. The redirect can only happen at HTTP level, so they are forced to generate a SSL certificate for the domain. And that generation is REAAAAAALLY slow. Surprisingly so.
I am on a paid, it’s solid for sure, just updates with zones or searching for zones is slow, I manage maybe 1000, just feels like something changed.
Well I don't have 1000 zones there. That might also be a factor. Still working fine here, was editing today. Good luck, please update the thread if you find a resolution or find out something. ClouDNS should handle 1000 zones no problem, of course.
