Hi, I have been very happy with route53 while lack of IPv6 support was not an issue for the use case. Did you evaluate CloudFlare in PaaS solution ? Their free plan includes DNS. Best regards, On Fri, Aug 12, 2016 at 7:56 AM, Ryan Finnesey wrote: > We need to provide DNS

Someone registered the domain “corp.gr” and now sells subdomains similar to .com.gr, .co.uk, etc. They use a “clever” way to make sure they will have 100% uptime at virtually no cost: $ dig NS corp.gr ;; Truncated, retrying in TCP mode. ; <<>> DiG 9.8.3-P1 <<>> NS corp.gr ;; global options:

Re: DNS Services for a registrar

On a serious note, what are the providers out there that can do a decent secondary dns hosting service?. looks like a lot of people stopped offering this service for bulk amount of domains at reasonable price. Let's say (100K domains) mehmet On Fri, Aug 12, 2016 at 4:09 PM, Mark Andrews

Never say “never”. ;-) Notice I did not say “you must” or “you should”. It is something to consider based on how many 9s are important to your business. The job of many of us is to think of those things that are highly unlikely, assign a risk and make a plan (or not) accordingly. The likely

Re: DNS Services for a registrar

If there are other metrics in which to measure DNS speed, availability and redundancy, I'd love to seeing them. I have but my own datapoint and the metrics from others. Tear down the testing model, but at least show a different/better one in return. On Fri, 12 Aug 2016, Keith Stokes wrote:

Much better math than mine. I pulled from memory and didn’t know the discount @ 25. I’m only running a half-dozen domains in Route53 and the rest are hosted internally. You could probably use less than a c4.large too. On Aug 12, 2016, at 11:29 AM, Peter Kristolaitis

Route53 can get expensive for lots of domains. Queries are cheap with the first 1M free, but if you have 1000 domains you’ll pay $500/month. You can build dedicated servers in multiple AZs and data centers able to handle that many domains for far less. You might also consider running dedicated

Also a big fan of DNS Made easy, but I wish they’d add DNSSEC already. I’m happy with AWS - one thing to consider is model out the network costs. That seems to get some people, who just expect the bill for instances at end of month. If you’re worried about availability due to an availability

Peter, That test is meaningless as it is from only few locations which seems to overlap with those who scored well. I would suggest using that as a base to compare speed. Mehmet On Friday, August 12, 2016, Peter Beckman wrote: > I highly recommend DNS Made Easy. Super

I highly recommend DNS Made Easy. Super fast, extremely reliable (100% up time in the last 10-12 years excluding an 8 hour period 4-5 years ago where they got DDOSed, no issues since), very affordable. #2 fastest for July: http://www.solvedns.com/dns-comparison/2016/07 Has been #1 several

And regardless of what / who you choose make sure that they are running RFC compliant servers. There are a lot of DNS providers that feel they don't need to use RFC compliant servers which makes problems for all the resolver vendors out there. It also make it hard to deploy new features that
