I’ve been de-googling, de-microsofting, and de-Amazoning my life.

One thing I still use for self hosting is AWS Route 53 for Domain Name Services (DNS).

I don’t feel ready to self-host DNS.

Do you all have recommendations for reliable and ethical DNS hosting providers?

Or is self hosting some DNS records less of a big deal than I’m imagining?

Advice on either would be welcome. Thank you!

    There are plenty of good options out there! Many use Cloudflare, though they are another giant. I’ve been happy with dsec and freedns, and would recommend both.

    Ive used freedns for over a decade; it’s simple and straightforward. Their free tier is plentiful, and their subscription costs are reasonable.

    I recently moved my self-hosted services to dsec so I could better automate SSL certs. It’s been nice and easy too!

    I use cloudflare mostly because I buy my domains through them as they offer at cost domain names for many TLDs. Internally I use PiHole and then just point what I need externally to cloudflare trough a reverse proxy and a DMZ box.

    Just my opinion and experience. Setup a couple of cheap VPS instances, and setup recognition, one primary, one secondary.
