easyDNS Anycast DNS review
A paid managed DNS service for multi-cloud Anycast, failover, and secondary DNS.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
easyDNS Anycast DNS is a managed authoritative DNS service for domains, websites, and mission-critical DNS workloads. It is suited to teams that want hosted nameserver infrastructure across multiple clouds rather than self-hosted DNS software. The service supports primary and secondary DNS, DNSSEC signing, DNS failover, host monitoring, dynamic DNS, zone transfers, slave nameservers, and a REST API for domain and zone management. It also supports common DNS record types and GeoDNS responses by country or region.
Pricing is organized by service level and domain. DNS Standard costs $19.95 per domain per year and includes three Anycast clouds, 15 nameserver locations, DNSSEC, primary and secondary DNS, host monitoring, and failover DNS. DNS Pro costs $39.95 per domain per year and raises coverage to 20 nameserver locations. Enterprise costs $14.95 per domain per month or $149.5 per domain per year, with four Anycast constellations, 25 DNS nodes, DNSSEC, GeoDNS, primary DNS, and secondary DNS. A 30-day trial is available, but there is no perpetual free plan. GeoDNS is also available as an add-on for other service levels.
The platform fit is practical for teams managing DNS across several hosting environments. Integrations include Amazon Route 53, Linode, DigitalOcean, and CIRA D-Zone, while web and API access support both dashboard-based and programmatic administration. Its breadth covers authoritative DNS, secondary DNS, monitoring, failover, and geographic responses in one managed service. Teams needing only basic DNS may find the paid, per-domain structure more than they need, while organizations seeking multi-cloud Anycast, DNSSEC, failover monitoring, or secondary DNS have a clearer reason to choose it. Enterprise is the relevant tier for GeoDNS and the largest stated network footprint.
