Cloudflare DNS What is the best DNS Provider ?

has it's done via constellix sonar checks and can also been tied into constellix dns failover setups outlined at Configure DNS Failover | Constellix Knowledgebase

not yet

 

Very good the geo proximity feature is much better than Route53 geodns as that is limited to AWS Edge locations and they don't have mid USA i.e. dallas one and they only have Ireland and Germany locations on Route53. Constellix geo proximity has much finer grain control so i can now setup in future for centminmod.com geo cluster locations in india, germany, russia, dallas and south america as well.

FYI, i moved my sslspdy.com site non-geodns dns to constellix as well

 

excellent news

 

yup that's right Configure DNS Failover | Constellix Knowledgebase

@bassie where did you get that pricing from ?

my test domain usage is

• 2 domains = 5 + 0.5 = 5.5/month
• 1 global traffic director = 5/month
• geo proximity 11x 0.01/month = 0.11/momth + 11x 0.05 = 0.55/month
• geo filter 4x0.01/month = 0.04/month + 4x0.05 = 0.20/month

so around $11.4/month before dns query costs

test domains don't have much traffic so hard to tell



on Route53 it costs me between US$15-25/month for 6 domain zones and 3 million geodns latency based queries + 2 million standard dns queries per month + costs of health checks.

for constellix geo proximity $2/million would = 3x2 =$6/month or geo filter $1/month = 3x1 = $3/month and std 0.5/million = 2x 0.5 =1/month

So roughly cost $11.4 for the setup + either 6+1 = $7/month or 3+1 = $4/month = 15.4/month to 18/month. So sort of inline with Route53 given that only 1 or the 6 domain zones is really the active one

So on the whole much better than DME geodns pricing at $660/yr per domain excluding dns query costs !

Constellix definitely has a superior geodns setup than Route53. So just need to see Constellix Sonar pricing as well

 

not relatively cheap DME if you do geodns at $660/yr per domain excluding geo dns query costs. Only DME cheaper if you do not do geodns.

really comes down to how they respectively count dns queries too. Lots of folks report DME has lower dns query usage recorded than other providers. We'll just have to see about Constellix Sonar costs. I'd probably give Constellix a good full test for a month for centminmod.com eventually to compare usage pricing as i like their Geo proximity filtering finer grain control so I can setup more vps within specific regions I have been eying on for ages like Russia, South America, India and mid-USA.

 

well Constellix has been in beta testing for ages so should be as good as DME - fingers crossed

to compare for geodns DME costs DNS Made Easy - Business Pricing Customization

i'm on business plan so $59.95 + 660/yr per domain = $719.95/yr for 1st domain with geodns. 2 domains with geodns on DME = US$1,379.95/yr !
