Gcore Managed DNS
Anycast managed DNS from Luxembourg-based Gcore with GeoDNS, health checks and failover.
Fits teams that want GeoDNS, health checks and failover without an enterprise contract. The Free plan already allows unlimited zones and requests but limits each zone to 1 dynamic RRset and a 120s minimum TTL. Pro at €2.49/month lifts those limits, cuts the minimum TTL to 30s and includes 10M requests before €0.20 per extra million, a fraction of the $99/month entry plan at IBM NS1.
