ClouDNS.
I use OVH DNS
I host it by myself
If you use any provider's DNS you sacrifice your privacy. If you run your own, you will likely sacrifice response time. I'm not sure what is so private about DNS, perhaps unless you don't want to share usage data etc.
ClouDNS, but looking for a good secondary dns service. The problem: mirroring geodns configs...
https://dynu.com
Been hosting with Dynu for a long time. It works and supports all DNS records and DNSSEC. Its very fast and hastle free.
dns.he.net
Had no issues at all over the last 5 or so years.
I use more than one, according to the site, cloudflare, route53, most hosted their own dns server
he.net
ClouDNS mainly.
I host my own DNS server.
DNS.HE.NET and ClouDNS
HE.net, NS1, Oracle and self-hosted.
Cloudflare
Self hosted
PowerDNS makes it less painful to manage
Hurricane Electric.
HE, ns1, Cloudflare
Once used cloudns but they do not offer dnssec for free accounts. Switched to ns1 then.
rackspace
Self hosted or Cloudflare
only Cloudflare
I used to use ClouDNS but I self-host now, using PowerDNS
Both master and multiple slaves hosted on some small cheap VPS. Using NSD. No DNSSec nonsense. Even the smallest 256 MB (actually even 128 but they are uncommon nowadays) VPSs are more than good enough.
Right, until you get DDoSed, then you quickly remember how cool Cloudflare was
Won't happen. My servers are configured properly and those scum-heads will use some of the plenty available ones that serve their purposes better.
Unless you mean they don't abuse them as amplifiers (which won't work) but rather attack them. Well, in that case they'd need to attack all of them, which is ridiculously unlikely too for some reasons I won't elaborate on.
Well, whatever, I choose that risk any day over being victimized by some CF - which I never found cool in the first place.
Vultr. But tinkering with self hosting on BuyVM's anycast boxes
Self-hosted, with NSD. According to dnsperf.com, it performs better than using Linode's DNS service. Used Knot DNS and djbdns previously.
Looked at ClouDNS several times, but could not see its attraction neither over Linode's DNS nor my self-hosted solution both in terms of cost and performance.
My personal domains run on a bunch of self hosted masters/slaves with he.net as slaves.
Me, I and myself.
But for serious stuff, I just use the domain registrar's DNS service.
It feels like it resolves faster this way, I know this has nothing to support it and probably 100 % not true. But It just feels this way to me
The main downside with BuyVM anycast is that Asia Pacific coverage isn't too good given they only have servers in the US and Europe. Also their network in Europe isn't fantastic (Cogent in Europe isn't that good) but it's totally fine for DNS. I use BuyVM anycast for most of my sites, but I have a few sites where the users are primarily based in Australia, and for those I use VPSes hosted in Australia for the DNS.
I‘m using rage4. They have the best GeoDNS imho.
