I should add a friend has recommended DNsimple.com and I’ve previously found their service to be excellent.

https://dnsimple.com/

50 cents per domain per month 10 cents per million queries

That’s prob cheap enough to support lots of little hobby sites and bigger traffic sites likely have some budget.

I used them in the past (many years ago) and was very surprised when my DNS was affected by a cloudflare outage. Turns out (back then) they relied on the cf network for DoS protection against their resolvers[1]. I was surprised to learn that and honestly thought that if I already take a dependency on cloudflare I might as well have them host my zones directly for free.

[1] Not completely sure but I think this was the incident https://blog.dnsimple.com/2020/07/incident-dns-resolution/

Second DNSimple. Cheap to start and lots of nice features/support if you grow e.g. terraform provider, an acme.sh plugin, Okta support etc.
