Managed DNS Providers
DNS providers offer authoritative DNS services, used to publish and manage the DNS records that tell the internet how to reach your domain (e.g. website, email servers). These are distinct from public DNS resolvers (like 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8), which end users rely on to look up DNS information.
Authoritative DNS servers are essential for hosting your own domain, supporting records like A, MX, CNAME, TXT, and more. Many providers also offer advanced features such as support for ALIAS records and DNSSEC.
This category focuses on standalone DNS providers that are not tied to a specific domain registrar. They can be used with any domain, as long as your registrar allows you to set custom authoritative DNS servers. This flexibility is especially valuable when you want advanced DNS features or wish to centralize DNS management across domains from multiple registrars.
