DNS features
Every DNS feature, on every free account
Geo-routing, apex aliases, per-minute metrics, a JSON zone editor and an AI examiner. No tiers to climb and nothing held back for enterprise.
Free for up to 50 zones. Unlimited records.
Route
Answer every query the right way
A fast answer from the nearest location, and the right answer for where the user is.
- Network
Global anycast
Nameservers announced from 50+ locations. Queries reach the nearest automatically. - Geo docs
Geo-routing
Per-record answers by continent, country or sub-region, with a default fallback. - Record types
ALIAS at the apex
Point example.com at a hostname. Edge resolves it and answers with addresses. Wildcards
*.example.com catches every subdomain you haven't defined explicitly.
Manage
Edit one record, or the whole zone as JSON
Switch the records view between a table and the full zone as JSON. Paste in a BIND file from your old provider, or script every change from CI with the API and CLI.
- BIND and JSON import and export
- Geo answers edited inline
- SOA and apex NS maintained for you
Observe
See every query, as it happens
Per-zone metrics with minute-level detail: how many queries, which types, what you answered and how fast. A spike, a broken subdomain or an attack shows up while it is happening.
- Query volume by type and response code
- Average and maximum latency in microseconds
- Traffic by country and by Edge node
- 1h, 24h, 7d and 30d ranges via console or API
Protect
Undo any change, down to the record
Turn on zone backups for $1 a month and Edge snapshots the zone every day at 02:00 UTC. Take manual backups before risky edits. Every restore saves the current state first, so a restore can be undone too.
- Daily automatic snapshots, kept for 30 days
- Manual and pre-restore backups never expire
- Download any backup as JSON
Secure and automate
Safe by default, scriptable end to end
Unique nameservers
Each account gets its own NS pair. Zones only activate when both are delegated to you, so nobody can claim your domain.DDoS resilience
Anycast spreads attack traffic across every location. Mitigation is included and unmetered.- Examiner
DNS Examiner
AI analysis of email authentication, CAA, delegation and TTLs, with the exact records to fix. API, CLI and agents
Everything in the console is in the REST API and the Edge CLI, and available to AI agents over MCP.Import and export
Bring a BIND or JSON zone file from any provider; export the same formats whenever you like.Instant propagation
Changes sync to every location in under five seconds. Trigger an immediate sync from the API.
Domains without a registrar
Need a name for staging? Take one.
Register a test.network subdomain for $1 a month or a short ed.ge name for $5. The zone is live instantly with full record control. Use it for staging, client demos and APIs.
- Active in seconds, no nameserver changes
- Point it at a VM, a CDN deployment or anything else
- Automatic SSL when used with Edge CDN
- Up to five of each per account
