CloudFloorDNS provides managed authoritative DNS over a global Anycast network, aimed at developers, businesses, and enterprises that need DNS hosting with traffic controls and automation. Its scope includes primary and secondary DNS, DNSSEC compatibility, monitored failover, GeoDNS, load balancing, statistics, and an HTTP-based API for zone management. The product is a fit for teams seeking these capabilities in one managed service; buyers who need a free plan should look elsewhere, since the listed trial is not a free plan.

Pricing starts with Developer at $8 per month for one domain and 2 million monthly queries. DNSSEC and API access are listed, while DNS failover and GEO DNS are optional. Bronze costs $50 monthly for 25 domains and 5 million queries, with 2 one-minute failovers; Silver is $80 for 50 domains, 7 million queries, 4 one-minute failovers, and 1 GEO DNS host. Gold costs $120 for 150 domains, 12 million queries, 6 one-minute failovers, and 2 GEO DNS hosts. Platinum is $300 for 200 domains, 30 million queries, 8 one-minute failovers, and 4 GEO DNS hosts. Each of these tiers lists API access and DNSSEC. Custom has tailored limits and options, with a quote required. A 10-day trial is listed separately.

Its feature breadth is notable for a DNS-focused service: secondary zones synchronize using AXFR, while monitored tests can trigger failover and GeoDNS can return location-based responses. DNS statistics and reporting, load balancing, and a web control panel complement API-based zone management. Integrations include CDN and cloud hosting providers, Shopify, and Etsy. Consider CloudFloorDNS if you need managed DNS with secondary hosting or steering features and can match your domain and query needs to a paid tier. A simpler DNS requirement may not justify paying for this range of capabilities.

CloudFloorDNS pros and cons

  • Where it wins
    • Developer plan includes one domain, API access, and DNSSEC compatibility.
    • Higher tiers add domains, query capacity, failovers, and GEO DNS hosts.
    • Supports primary and AXFR-based secondary DNS, load balancing, and reporting.
  • Where it doesn't
    • No free plan; the 10-day trial is separate from paid plans.
    • Developer plan covers one domain and makes failover and GEO DNS optional.
    • Custom plan requires a quote, so its price is not fixed.
