I’ve been de-googling, de-microsofting, and de-Amazoning my life.

One thing I still use for self hosting is AWS Route 53 for Domain Name Services (DNS).

I don’t feel ready to self-host DNS.

Do you all have recommendations for reliable and ethical DNS hosting providers?

Or is self hosting some DNS records less of a big deal than I’m imagining?

Advice on either would be welcome. Thank you!

    I use cloudflare mostly because I buy my domains through them as they offer at cost domain names for many TLDs. Internally I use PiHole and then just point what I need externally to cloudflare trough a reverse proxy and a DMZ box.

      I use cloudflare also but I suspect that OP will find them unfavourable because they’re just another giant. I’d like to de-cloudflare myself.

        Yes. I’m inclined to avoid Cloudflare, if I’m able, for now.

        Cloudflare feels like they’re doing the same kind of “were too big and cool to pay our staff or think about uptime” that I’ve been suffering from under AWS, recently.
