# bunny.net DNS

Canonical: https://inetgeek.com/dns-hosting/bunny-dns/

Anycast DNS with no query fees on up to 500 zones, sold alongside bunny.net's CDN and storage.

## Who it suits

Up to 500 zones with no query fees and no per-zone charge, from a company that will also serve the traffic. The only cost is a $1 minimum on the account, and only if DNS is the one thing you use there.

Consider something else if You run more than 500 zones. Past that the page stops publishing and says contact sales, which is a worse answer than DNSimple's $0.50 per zone if the number you need to plan against is the 501st.

## iScore

90 / 100 (80% interval 82–99), rank 1 of 5 in dns-hosting — interval overlaps the next rank, so this is an ordering, not a finding.

inetGeek's own reading, computed from sourced facts against category peers by disclosed rules. Not a provider claim. Intervals are 80%; a provider with few documented facts is pulled toward the category middle rather than scored on what little is known.

### Limits

### Infrastructure

- Uptime SLA: None published. bunny.net/dns/sla redirects to a not-found page and the DNS pricing page names no uptime figure — which is a coherent position for a service that charges nothing, and worth seeing beside Route 53's and Google's 100%.

### Compliance

- DNSSEC: Supported — Cryptographic validation of DNS responses, per its docs ([source](https://bunny.net/docs/dns/dnssec), read 2026-09-15)
