European managed dns providers

Authoritative DNS operated from within Europe

Replaces: Amazon Route 53 · Google Cloud DNS

A managed DNS provider runs the authoritative name servers for your domains and gives you an interface to edit records. When someone resolves your domain, their resolver ends up asking these servers for the answer. Beyond plain records, this category focuses on providers that work with domains registered anywhere and add features such as DNS failover, GeoDNS, anycast networks and API driven updates.

DNS is the single point where your whole online presence can be redirected, so the operator and its resilience matter more than the monthly price. ClouDNS, RcodeZero and Bunny DNS are European providers here. Because zone files are portable text, moving to a European managed DNS provider is mostly a matter of importing records and waiting out the TTLs.
