In the article《 Those foreign free DNS resolution services 》Several foreign free domain name resolution services have been introduced, and you can have a look if you are interested. In recent days, Xiaoz has been trying various DNS resolutions, and accidentally found ClouDNS
ClouDNS was founded in 2010. The company is located in Bulgaria. They provide free DNS hosting services, but only three domain names are supported for free. Its functions are very common, and there is nothing to introduce. This article mainly introduces their charging DNS. The minimum package only costs 2 $/month, and it is powerful and very suitable for individual users.
Scheme comparison Getting Started
Registered address: https://asia.cloudns.net (including AFF)
ClouDNS supports the Chinese interface. Switch to Chinese Simplified in the upper right corner. It is estimated that it is machine translation, because many pages are still in English. ClouDNS supports a free trial for 30 days even with a paid package. After successful registration, you can access: https://asia.cloudns.net/premium/#trial -52 Experience.
Anycast DNS
ClouDNS fee package supports Anycast technology, Anycast DNS is a network addressing and routing method, in which datagrams from a single sender will be routed to the node with the nearest topology in a group of potential receivers. In short, one hostname contains multiple resolution IPs, Anycast DNS will allocate the latest IP according to the visitor network
DDNS dynamic parsing
The DDNS dynamic resolution service provided by ClouDNS is very considerate. It is directly enabled in the background with one click, and various scripts are generated for you. Dynamic resolution can be achieved by directly accessing the provided API address or adding the address to the planned task. It is not too simple.
URL forwarding
With the URL forwarding service provided by ClouDNS, 301 and 302 redirects can be set to automatically jump to the target address. However, many domestic DNS merchants require that the service must be available on the north bank, which can be set directly in the ClouDNS background.
HTTP API
If you are a developer, you will have to struggle, ClouDNS provides HTTP API services. The documentation is very detailed. You can implement more ideas based on your own needs than standby IP, downtime switching and other functions.
other
ClouDNS supports multiple records, and can set SOA, as well as some I have seen and have not seen. See the screenshot below for details.
summary
Although ClouDNS has rich functions, it is also slightly inadequate in some places, such as unable to pause resolution, does not support standby IP, and cannot achieve downtime switching unless it is developed again through API. It seems that ClouDNS DNS server was attacked by a large-scale DDOS several months ago. Its stability needs further observation. Since the paid package can be tried for a month, why not try it first.
