Zone Edit Managed DNS, $ 1.40/mo. on DNS

Managed DNS is billed at 1 credit per month, shown here as 1.40 USD per month when calculated from the smallest 1-credit pack. It includes Primary DNS on 3 nameservers, Dynamic DNS, WebForward, and MailForward. The service is intended for a domain zone that needs active DNS hosting with record control, forwarding functions, and automatic dynamic IP updates under ZoneEdit management. It is a service-only DNS product when the domain registration is handled elsewhere; domain registrations or transfers through ZoneEdit include DNS service with two nameservers separately.

1 Tertiary DNS is also available as a 1-credit-per-month DNS add-on. It is useful for customers who need a tertiary DNS service associated with a zone and want additional DNS redundancy beyond a basic arrangement. It fits ZoneEdit accounts that need the DNS layer to remain resilient while retaining web-based record control and support through the provider account.

1 Backup MX is another 1-credit-per-month add-on. It provides a backup mail exchanger function for a domain, giving mail infrastructure an additional receiving path when the primary mail server is unavailable. It belongs to the broader ZoneEdit email and DNS toolset, alongside MailForward, outbound SMTP options, DNS record management, and domain-level services.

Failover is billed at 1 credit per month and is also treated as 1 credit per device per month. The feature monitors critical infrastructure through ZoneEdit monitoring and can trigger a DNS update when the primary endpoint has a problem, bringing backup infrastructure online through DNS. Customers with more monitored devices should expect the monthly credit consumption to increase according to the monitored count.

HTTPS Web Forwarding is billed at 1 credit per month. It extends the URL forwarding function with HTTPS and SSL style redirects for a domain. ZoneEdit forwarding can be used during migrations from one domain to another, can preserve full pathnames in redirects, and can also use cloaked or stealth forwarding where the original domain remains visible in the browser address bar.

ZoneEdit DNS services run on a monthly credit model. Active paid zones and add-on services consume credits automatically each month, and the account must keep enough credits available to avoid expiry warnings and later service disablement. Credit packs are sold as 1 credit for 1.40 USD, 5 credits for 5.00 USD, 12 credits for 12.00 USD, 36 credits for 30.00 USD, 120 credits for 75.00 USD, 600 credits for 285.00 USD, and 1200 credits for 500.00 USD, so larger packs reduce the effective cost per credit. The DNS platform is built for advanced domain management, dynamic DNS, web forwarding, mail forwarding, email tools, registrar related services, and control over common DNS record types including NS, MX, A, AAAA, TXT for SPF, CNAME including apex aliasing, SRV, and NAPTR. It also supports round robin DNS, URL forwarding with redirect or cloaked behavior, domain apex aliasing for CDN or external hostnames, sanity checks before live changes, zone backups and rollback, reverse DNS related functions, and premium SMTP port forwarding. Failover monitoring can update DNS when monitored infrastructure becomes unavailable, while dynamic DNS keeps hostnames synchronized when a broadband or other non-static IP changes. Support is available through the community forum and logged-in support options, with paid members receiving priority support through the control panel.
