Providers
Five providers, any two or more per zone
AWS Route 53, OCI DNS, Google Cloud DNS, Azure DNS and Cloudflare. Each zone picks its own providers; the zone's capabilities are what all of them support.
Providers
| Provider | Credential | Apex NS |
|---|---|---|
| AWS Route 53 | an IAM access key | rewritten to list the nameservers of every provider |
| OCI DNS | an API signing key of an OCI user | rewritten to list the nameservers of every provider |
| Google Cloud DNS | the JSON key of a service account | rewritten to list the nameservers of every provider |
| Azure DNS | an app registration (service principal) with a client secret | extended with the nameservers of every provider; Azure’s own nameservers always stay in the set |
| Cloudflare DNS | an API token | rewritten to list the nameservers of every provider, with Cloudflare’s Multi-provider DNS setting on (RedundantDNS turns it on when it attaches the zone) |
On Cloudflare, RedundantDNS turns on the Multi-provider DNS setting when it attaches a zone, so the apex NS lists every provider there too.
One exception: a domain registered at Cloudflare Registrar can only use Cloudflare’s nameservers, so its apex stays on Cloudflare alone until the registration moves. Subdomains can still be on two providers. The Cloudflare Registrar guide has the options.
Every pair
- Route 53 + OCI DNS
- Route 53 + Cloud DNS
- Route 53 + Azure DNS
- Route 53 + Cloudflare
- OCI DNS + Cloud DNS
- OCI DNS + Azure DNS
- OCI DNS + Cloudflare
- Cloud DNS + Azure DNS
- Cloud DNS + Cloudflare
- Azure DNS + Cloudflare
More providers (DigitalOcean, Hetzner, deSEC and a self-hosted nameserver) are planned after launch. Three or more providers per zone are available on the Pro plan and above.
