Use Cases
Free Tier
500 DNS zones, unlimited queries, anycast network, smart routing
How to Maximize the Free Tier
Bunny DNS was made completely free in June 2026 — no query fees and up to 500 zones at no cost. Use smart routing for geo-aware DNS responses (latency-based routing is included free). The global anycast network ensures low-latency resolution worldwide. If you also use Bunny CDN, manage DNS and CDN from one dashboard with automated origin shielding. The 500 zone limit is generous for most use cases — only large agencies with hundreds of client domains need the paid tier.
Getting Started
Sign up at bunny.net → go to DNS section → Add Zone → enter your domain → copy the assigned nameservers (ns1.bunny.net, etc.) → update nameservers at your registrar → add DNS records in the dashboard → optional: enable smart routing for geo-aware DNS. DNS propagates within 5-10 minutes.
Pros
- Free 500 zones: 500 DNS zones with unlimited queries — extremely generous for agencies managing multiple client domains
- Modern dashboard: Clean, responsive UI with search, filtering, and bulk operations — far better than legacy DNS providers
- Anycast network: Global anycast with smart routing provides low-latency DNS resolution from 100+ worldwide PoPs
Cons
- Bunny ecosystem: Designed to work within Bunny's ecosystem — less compelling if you don't also use Bunny CDN or storage
- 500 zone cap: While generous, the 500 zone limit is a hard cap — larger agencies need to contact sales for more
- Younger service: DNS service is newer than Cloudflare or HE — fewer battle scars and community troubleshooting resources
