DNS Services

Thinges I've learned about DNS.

DNS is a database.

Goal is to self-host the primary DNS server, and publish records to public secondaries.

KNOT dns is nice: https://www.knot-dns.cz/docs/3.5/html/index.html

Options for primary

https://beta.servfail.network/

Options for secondaries

Anycast secondary network: https://ns-global.zone/

Hetzner apparently offers free secondaries. But you need to register a credit card. Oracle Cloud offers a free VPS which can probably serve most DNS stuff.
