DNS manager for all domains
-
I am looking for a DNS manager to centrally manage all domains and at the moment considering Amazon Route 53, Google DNS or Cloudflare. Amazon from my experience has so much of hidden cost, start with something and end up with a very different cost. What do you all use
-
We use CloudFlare.
-
Cloudflare. But if you are already on AWS it might be worth it just to use that.
-
Cloudflare here too but the others are right, if you are already on Amazon it makes sense to use their offering.
-
Route 53 does always seem to cost something way different for DNS every month. It' has a good interface if you are linking to Amazon services, but configuring non-Amazon services is odd in some scenarios and confusing.
But moreover you are right, one month I had $12+ bill for just dns.
I have only used cloudflare once and I liked it.
Mostly using google domains for all my domains now, the private registration stuff is free, DNS changes commit fast. But cloudflare still looks like it has more data and features.
At my old work we used DYN for everything, then they got taken down pretty hard. In my opinion it shed some light on a lot of complacency with their network.

Unless you want any content delivery, then you need CF anyway.

You'd probably be using CloudFront for that on AWS.

Possibly. But CloudFlare is free, so there is a lot of value to it even on AWS.

Sure. I think they have things so integrated that it almost makes it a non starter to look elsewhere (most of the time). Unless you have like 2 sites.

Amazon is being used for other services for a different company.
This requirement is to take over all the domains, previously managed by our parent company. DNS records basically are for websites and mail (newly moving to O365). Company currently using zoneedit which i am not very sure of
My first thought was to go cloudflare paid. I think there are aroind 5 domains that we use.My plan is to replicate all domain records on to the new service and add the new ns records as primary and secondary keeping old ns as thrid and fourth. After few days once all confirmed that it is using new DNS server will ask parent company to clean up records at their end.

Cloudflare will read the current DNS server and build all the records in itself.

That only works for some records.

Most though.

Most of ones like www, ftp and mx records. But anything that you make that is unusual or unique in any way, I've never had found. I just did it the other day for a company and it found like two of twenty, and it was the two you'd be almost certain would be there.
