DNS made Easy DNS-5, $ 18.75/mo. on DNS

DNS-5 is the entry-level managed DNS membership for smaller DNS portfolios. It is priced at 18.75 per month when billed annually at 225. The plan includes 5 domains, 1500 DNS records, 5M DNS queries per month, 1 failover record, 5 query logs per month, two-factor authentication, and 100% SLA-backed DNS service. It is suitable for teams that need a low-cost authoritative DNS service with managed DNS controls, basic failover coverage, query logging, and a dashboard that can scale later through add-ons. The included failover record helps protect an important hostname by monitoring endpoint health and redirecting DNS answers to a backup resource when the primary endpoint is unhealthy. The included query logs provide visibility into DNS query activity for troubleshooting, traffic review, and early detection of unusual changes. The annual billing structure keeps the monthly equivalent predictable, and no setup fee is listed.

DNS Made Easy is a managed DNS platform for businesses that need high availability, low latency, and central control over DNS operations. The service uses a global Anycast architecture and is built for dependable domain resolution with a 100% uptime SLA. The control environment includes managed DNS, secondary DNS, account analytics, domain analytics, query logging, real-time stats, DNS failover, Global Traffic Director, ANAME records, user permissions, folders, templates, and API-based automation. Security functions include two-factor authentication, granular access controls, DNSSEC on higher-tier service, SAML/SSO on the DNS-50 tier, SOC 2 certification, DDoS-aware network protection, anomaly visibility, and notification controls for account and traffic events. DNS Failover can monitor endpoints over TCP, UDP, DNS, HTTP, or HTTPS, check health from multiple monitoring locations, update DNS records quickly, and use up to four redundant IP addresses in a failover configuration. Global Traffic Director routes DNS responses by geographic region so users can be directed to the closest or healthiest endpoint across North America East, North America West, South America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Oceania. ANAME records provide CNAME-like behavior at the domain root while coexisting with TXT, MX, and CAA records and automatically resolving dynamic hostnames to IP addresses. DNS Analytics adds charts, maps, raw query logs, record usage visibility, domain query views, and trend comparison, helping teams identify stale records, misconfigurations, DDoS-like spikes, and unusual traffic. The dashboard supports purchases, add-ons, renewals, invoices, usage review, notifications, account information, sub-users, groups, access control lists, and support tickets. Payment support includes major credit cards and PayPal, with PayPal requiring preapproval. A 30-day free DNS service trial is available before buying a membership.
