Route53 is not a bad option. If you're using EdgeCast CDN as well you'll probably get a discount on DNS (and I will point out that the EdgeCast CDN is faster, and more importantly, a hell of a lot cheaper than Cloudfront is).

For my use cases, CloudFront beat out EdgeCast quite a bit in price. (~20 TB / month commit with a request mix heavily biased towards NA and Europe).

@nieksand, feel free to get in touch with us at speedyrails.com (EdgeCast's resellers), I'm sure we can offer you a much better price than CloudFront's

We announced Cloud DNS at Cloud Platform Live on March 25th. It kind of got lost in the noise around the big price cuts.

Any chance of geographic and/or latency based views and edns-client-subnet support?

I'm not up on what the plans for that team are right now. I can say that it is an explicit goal to expose more and more of Google's infrastructure through cloud -- including how we route traffic globally.

Can anyone recommend a cheap DNS service that does geographic-based load distribution? I know that Route53 offers something like this, but AFAIK it's only designed for products hosted on Amazon's platforms. I've heard that geographic-based DNS has something of a bad reputation, but I think it would be a very good fit for a side project I'm working on.

DNSMadeEasy for $30/year

That's for their DNS Small Business Plan only, plus $55 per Domain per Month for Geo-DNS (http://www.dnsmadeeasy.com/home/compare/)

There is no point comparing this to AWS Route53. Purely in terms of speed Cloud DNS win Hands Down. I am not sure if the Cloud DNS is the same as their own DNS infrastructure, if so it is pretty damn fast. The only other two DNS services I recommend is DNSMadeEasy and EdgeCast DNS. Both happens to one of the most affordable as well as fastest. ( Strange combination ) The only bad thing is EdgeCast got brought by Veri…

Really? In my very primitive tests, Route53 is considerably faster than Cloud DNS. And DNS Made Easy is faster than both of them.

Personally, DNS Made Easy is my favorite provider by far. Extremely fast, reliable, and priced very well. Plus, you don't have to deal with a sales guy unless you really want to.

I love it when Dyn or other big providers try and woo me. Thousands of dollars a month for DNS? Bahaha.

Yeah, I'm getting that same premium experience. Appear to also hit Google Apps as well as any AppeEngine hosted site.

Same problem for weeks now, apparently New York is in Iran

@dcc1: could you please email me at brian@.com? I work for Google Netops and would like to get some additional info from you so we can debug this.
