Who do you use for DNS management and why? (2020)


It’s finally and unexpectedly time for me to move DNS management away from IBM Cloud (formerly SoftLayer). Who do you all use and why?

Backstory: After managing my DNS with IBM Cloud’s “Classic Infrastructure” for a while now (and with SoftLayer for many years before that), I logged in to discover that I have to enter a credit card and upgrade from the free plan in order to access my DNS records.

There wasn’t any notice that this change was coming, so imagine my surprise :)

On the plus side, IBM / SoftLayer DNS doesn’t support reverse DNS or CAA records, which I’ve been wanting for several of my domains.

I like DNS Made Easy. I've used them for probably more than a decade now. Never had any issues. Insanely cheap compared to the competitors I've looked at from time to time.
