The community’s favorite CDN provider, Bunny.net, has introduced BunnyDNS.

So for 99% of us, it’s another option for DNS hosting, and because it’s Bunny and they have a premium CDN network through the world, it’s fast.

But there’s a lot more to BunnyDNS.  I’m just reacting to their announcement, but as I read it, if you want to just setup plain-jane “here’s the IP for this A record” you can certainly do that.  But you can also use JavaScript-based rules to solve complex issues.  For example, something like this:

addEventListener('dns', event => {
  event.respondWith(handleRequest(event.request));
});

function handleRequest(request) {
  return new TxtRecord('LowEndBox is awesome!', 30);
}

Just a glance, this seems amazing.  I have no idea what I would use it for, but it seems amazing.

We interviewed Bunny’s CEO Dejan Pelzel and I’ve long been impressed with their service.  To be honest I like just going to their site to see their gorgeously integrated and consistent Bunny theme.  BunnyDNS looks really interesting and really cheap.  For scriptable DNS that’s powered by their global CDN, they’re looking to hit pricing of 10 – 40 cents per million queries.

I’ve signed up for the beta and am interested in consolidating all my DNS and DynDNS into one fast platform, so stay tuned for more news and tutorials on this topic.

Dread Lord of LowEnd Content at LowEndBox

I'm raindog308, techno polymath and long-time LowEndTalk community Administrator. My technical interests include all things Unix, perl, python, golang, shell scripting, vintage operating systems such as MVS, and relational database systems such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.

I also enjoy using LEBs! I have an empire of little guys for VPNs, larger guys for apps, and big guys for databases and storage. When I'm not in front a screen I'm into German Shepherd dogs, quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop roleplaying games, and forest hiking.

I enjoy writing technical articles here on LowEndBox to help people get more out of their systems. You can find me on LowEndTalk @raindog308
