Managed DNS Providers

Japanese managed DNS providers run the authoritative nameservers that publish DNS records for your domains. Authoritative DNS is distinct from public resolvers like 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8, which end users query to resolve addresses. These providers handle the publishing side: they store your records, answer queries from resolvers, and keep nameservers running around the clock.

This category focuses on standalone providers not tied to a specific domain registrar. They work with any domain, as long as your registrar lets you set custom authoritative nameservers. This flexibility is valuable when you want advanced DNS features or need to centralize management across domains from different registrars.

ALIAS/ANAME records let you point a bare domain (e.g. example.com) at another hostname, working around the DNS standard that prohibits CNAME at the zone apex.

DNSSEC adds cryptographic signatures to DNS responses so resolvers can verify that answers have not been tampered with in transit.

A Terraform provider lets you define DNS records in code and deploy them alongside the rest of your infrastructure.
