Rackspace offers DNS with all cloud accounts and doesn't charge for it. As far as I know, you can sign up for a cloud account and not actually purchase any services, though I would probably put some files in Cloud Files so you're at least paying them something to keep the account around. You can update your records via their API or via their control panel and there are no per-change or per-domain fees.

You're getting professionally-run DNS servers, distributed with anycast.



Linode too offers DNS with their accounts, which i've used and been happy with ... https://library.linode.com/dns-manager

They also offer API access (haven't used that yet) https://www.linode.com/api/dns


Route 53 is also really cheap if you're an AWS kind of guy/gal for 50 cents a domain. The usage charges are beyond low (think 1 cent) for smaller sites.


Route 53 seems like a way to go with their GeoDNS ability and bunch of cool other features. To bad Dyn.com goes all paid though...


Has anyone compared Route53 with the new Google Cloud DNS? https://developers.google.com/cloud-dns/

I'm interested in differences feature-wise.


I havent seen a point by point comparison. Feature set, and even the API, are basically identical for now.


This is true. Although we do appreciate folks using other Rackspace services along with the free DNS. ;)
