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.

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.
  • DNS Examiner

    AI analysis of email authentication, CAA, delegation and TTLs, with the exact records to fix.
    Examiner
  • 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
