We hear you-next month, their costs are skyrocketing, turning what should be simple DNS management into a budget-busting headache. At easyDNS, we’ve been keeping things steady and straightforward since the internet was young. No sneaky hikes, no enterprise-level markups for basic features, just rock-solid DNS that’s fast, secure, and backed by humans who actually answer the phone. If you’re fleeing the price gouge, welcome home (or welcome aboard). Let’s make your switch easy, with a special 25% off deal just for you. **WHY DITCH THE DRAMA AND CHOOSE easyDNS?** ------------------------------------------- - **No Price Hikes Here:** Our rates have stayed fair and predictable for years-no “renewal surprises” or overage traps. Pay yearly and save even more. - **Uptime That’s Actually Uptime:** 100% unconditional guarantee, powered by a global anycast network with 15 nameservers across 3 clouds. Your sites stay live, no excuses. - **Support That Doesn’t Suck:** Real North American humans via phone or email-none of that endless ticket limbo or chatbot roulette. - **Features Without the Fluff:** Unlimited records, dynamic DNS, IPv6, DNSSEC, email forwarding, backup MX, and more. Pro adds failover monitoring for that extra peace of mind. - **Affordable for Real Businesses:** Starting at just $20/year (without domain reg)-way below the competitors’ monthly bills that add up fast. - **Easy Migration:** Free tools and support to move your zones without downtime. We’ve got your back. **COMPARE FEATURES AND PRICING** -------------------------------- Feature easyDNS DNS Standard/Pro DigiCert DNS (Essentials/Made Easy) UltraDNS DNSMadeEasy Starting Price (Yearly Equivalent)$20–$40/year (Standard/Pro, without domain reg), stable, no hikes~$600/year (Essentials: $50/mo base), hikes incoming, overages $5/M queriesCustom (often $49+/mo, ~$588+/year), enterprise hikes expected$174–$540/year (DNS-5: ~$14.50/mo; higher tiers), rebranding to DigiCert may spike costs Queries Included 1M–5M/month (unlimited records) 10M/month (Essentials) – pay extra for more Scalable (millions/sec), but query-based billing jumps with hikesVaries by plan (e.g., 5M+ in basic), overages add up fast post-hike Uptime Guarantee 100% unconditional 100% SLA (but with fine print) 99.99%+ (DDoS-protected) 100% SLA Global Network 3 anycast clouds, 15 POPs, DDoS protection Anycast with DDoS protection Global anycast (47+ nodes) Anycast with low latency Security Features DNSSEC, DDoS mitigation, IPv6, geo/IP restrictions, 2FA, Recovery lockdown, API DNSSEC, DDoS mitigation, malware scanning Enhanced DDoS, threat intel Failover, analytics, API Support Phone/email by dedicated clueful team Ticket-based, self-service focus Enterprise-level, but often premiumAverage, but pending increase with DigiCert shift Extras IMAP Mailboxes, Email forwarding (50–100), backup MX, dynamic DNS, URL forwarding Geo/ASN routing, multi-cloud steering TLD management, advanced scalability Failover (included in some), analytics Best For Small biz, enterprise, devs, anyone wanting value without surprises SMBs scaling up (but watch those hikes) Large enterprises (pricey post-hike) Growing biz (affordable now, but hikes coming soon) **Bottom line:** EasyDNS gives you enterprise-grade reliability at small-business prices-without the looming increases that’ll hit your budget next month. Competitors like UltraDNS excel in massive scalability, but their custom pricing often means paying premium for basics. DigiCert DNS (including rebranded DNSMadeEasy) offers solid self-service, but those monthly rates and overages add up quick, especially with hikes. DNSMadeEasy’s affordable tiers are great-until the price jumps make them less so. Switch to easyDNS for predictable costs and features that punch above their weight. ### Special Welcome Offer: 25% Off Your First Year If you’re jumping ship from DigiCert DNS, UltraDNS, or DNSMadeEasy, we’ve got a “welcome (back)” deal to make the move painless.
