Managed DNS
GCore DNS overview
As a DNS provider, we offer customers two products: Managed DNS and Public DNS. Learn how DNS works in our blog post “on DNS.”
Functions not mentioned in the table are available on the same basis for all plans.
Managed DNS
Gcore Managed DNS is an authoritative DNS server for domain delegation. When delegating domains and creating a DNS zone, the following features are available:- Creation of a CDN resource for the entire site.
- DNS records management in the Gcore Customer Portal and via the API.
- AnycastDNS for redirecting requests to your domain to the nearest edge location.
- Flexible balancing to various IP addresses, based on the geolocation of the user who requested the domain, metadata, or weight that you set. This includes support for EDNS Client Subnet to enhance routing accuracy.
- DNSSEC for domain protection during resolving processes.
- Health Checks for checking the availability of IP addresses.
- OctoDNS, Certbot, Kubernetes, and Terraform third-party solution integrations.
- CNAME flattening for using a subdomain at the root.
- Support for HTTPS records.
- Support for IPv6 addresses.
Public DNS
Gcore Public DNS provides free public DNS resolvers for converting names into IP addresses. You can use Gcore Public DNS instead of the resolvers provided by your internet provider to increase resolution speed and protect your domain from substitution.Plans and features
