| You had some - millions (?) of - DNS queries free in the past. |

| I'm glad to hear the queries are free now! I somehow managed to blow through the free quota, not by like a crazy amount but enough that I started thinking in most circumstances why pay extra for basic dns when registrar's is free? Even barely used domains were getting tons of queries. And I only need the fancy failover feature on a couple domains, though it is nice for those for sure. Anyway with this I don't have to worry about it anymore, so thanks Bunny! |

| First time I am hearing of paying for DNS resolution but I am just a civilian. |

| Yes. Many others are free with no $1 minimum (e.g. Cloudflare) |

| ▲ | chaz6 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I wanted to give Cloudflare a go, but I did not want to move my whole domain. Unfortunately you can only host a subdomain with a paid account. | | |
| ▲ | dizhn an hour ago | parent [-] | | You only have to have them be your domain's name servers. Domains can stay at another registrar. This is pretty risk-free. They didn't even used to be a registrar until recently and they don't support registering all tlds so this always worked. |

| ▲ | khurs 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Cloudflare's business model appears to be wait till someone is generating lots of bandwidth and then give them 30 days to move up a tier or be closed down. I've read reports of companies on the business plan being strong armed into signing Enterprise plans with 1 year upfront. It's a listed company with revenue expectations, and VERY good at marketing itself, but it's free tier of CDN/DDOS to start off with is a good deal. | | |
| ▲ | trick-or-treat 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Move up a tier or move somewhere where it costs even more. That seems kinda reasonable, really. |

| ▲ | rozenmd 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Not _quite_ in this case, since the free plan improves everyone's experience: https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflares-commitment-to-free/ | | |
