EuroDNS

EuroDNS S.A. runs the EuroDNS domain registrar, and its site states that it is headquartered in Luxembourg. The company says it is part of the Namespace group.

EuroDNS sells DNS as an add-on to domain registration. Every registered domain gets Anycast DNS, and a Premium Anycast DNS plan adds more points of presence and a second DNS provider.

What DNS features does EuroDNS include with a domain?

EuroDNS lists Anycast DNS as free with every domain, running on 30 points of presence with one DNS provider. The plan includes IPv4 and IPv6, 4 name servers and unlimited traffic.

EuroDNS also lists DNSSEC auto-sign, DNS zone transfer, zone versioning and URL and email forwarding in the plan.

What does Premium Anycast DNS add?

EuroDNS Premium Anycast DNS runs on 50 points of presence with 2 DNS providers and a 99.999% SLA. The price is EUR 2.69 per month on yearly billing, or EUR 2.99 per month billed monthly.

The EuroDNS FAQ says the Plus plan syncs DNS in real time between providers. The pages we read give no zone or record limits.

EuroDNS as a European alternative to Amazon Route 53

EuroDNS prices DNS as a flat euro plan, where Amazon Route 53 charges per hosted zone and per million queries. EuroDNS lists no health checks, latency routing or GeoDNS on the pages we read.

EuroDNS fits static zones and standard record sets. Route 53 stays ahead for routing policies and alias records inside AWS.

Known limits

EuroDNS lists no health checks, GeoDNS or traffic routing on the DNS pages we read, so it covers plain authoritative DNS only. Its privacy policy names several processors outside the EEA, including a newsletter provider in the United States. The legal entity address and the ownership of the Namespace group are not shown on the pages we read. For routing features compare Gcore.

Best suited to users of EuroDNS

Domain owners who register or already hold domains at EuroDNS and want Anycast DNS with DNSSEC and zone transfer at no extra cost.
