Shady practices... to keep you paying for nothing 1. Impossible to get any support. 2. They charge you yearly upfront with some random adjustments (of course those adjustments are into their favour.... what are these, why? no explanation provided whatsoever) and you won't be able to transfer domain out without paying upfront for the next year ($60/year for hosting DNS zone... really?!) 3. And you can't switch to monthly BEFORE they charge you for the full year upfront

Never regretted signing up long ago I remember 6 years ago looking at the signup page: "what? why is there a monthly fee for a DNS provider?" I signed up anyway and have relentlessly recommended DNSimple to all my devops-friends since then. Their product is clearly not for beginners, such as GoDaddy - which is good, because I skip all the marketing and bloated interfaces. But they also managed to hit the sweet spot in usability to make it way more comfortable than Route 53. The Team at DNSimple does one thing and they do it WELL. Over the years I had to interact with their support team every now and then (concerning features, difficult configurations and technical questions, API usage) and I always had direct, helpful interaction with the most wonderful people. It's a niche company, but in that niche, everybody (at least in the Ruby and Terraform world) knows them. I simply trust these people to take care of our domains.

If you use Terraform and want a no hassle DNS provider that just works, go with DNSimple I came to DNSimple due to wanting a solution that worked with Hashicorp's Terraform IaC tool. From day one the experience has been excellent, pricing is spot on, support has been amazing and the feature set being added iteratively to their Terraform provider is excellent. If you use Terraform and want a no hassle DNS provider that just works, go with DNSimple.

Super easy Super easy, well priced, great support. Been using them for years on companies big and small and would not choose any other service!

Solves a single problem really well Solves a single problem really well. Happy with the service so far and their API is fantastic. I haven't really needed their customer support much yet, but they seem pretty responsive on the single email I sent them, which is promising.
