sorry, assumed dns would have given the heads up. also given this place is low end talk???

Quality is important but so is the price point. Not really looking to spend more than $20 for the year. cheaper the better, Already got dns servers in US, UK & Italy

I am using Cloudflare DNS for this perticular domain.. but purely for AnyCast DNS resolution... all protection mechanisms are "OFF" for this. Can CF be a prob ?

* DigitalOcean (friends have ran DNS boxes here, uptime for years)

Can anyone recommend a cheap Asia/Australia provider to host a dns box? (Cpanel DNS)

Unlimited forward DNS and rDNS provided in WHMCS via our PowerDNS cluster located in Charlotte, Los Angeles and New Jersey.

I have struggled for a couple of hours in getting powerdns API to work but I'm failing.

I use dnsmadeeasy.com for about 5 years now. Their Vanity DNS is great to whitelabel the nameservers. So far 5 star service and cheap price.

information on correct configuration. NTP, DNS, SNMP all have information commonly available but not RPC based amplification (port 111)

DigitalOcean is probably using CloudFlare Virtual DNS[1] for the caching and DDoS protection. A few companies are doing it.

Through Cloudflare and through Nginx when using dns only mode of CF.

with the cloud I will probably need only a DNS server and I already have one with Anycast

For a secondary dns + ntp/ping monitor, I'm after a low-end offer with these minimal requirements:

CloudFlare free works fine for small/medium sites but there is no DNS Failover option in CloudFlare so you have to manually do it or run a script to change your records if your site/server goes down.

Yep, all things considered, with a ton of domains in hand, only alternative to CloudFlare would be setting up own DNS, but no time to do this yet…

API no longer worked for months and there was no ETA for fixing it, so we supposed was dead then moved to offer rage4 instead...

Other paid providers such as Route53 or Google Cloud DNS seem like better value.
