Summary
Bunny.net has announced that its Bunny DNS service will no longer charge for DNS queries, offering free hosting for up to 500 domains per account with no query limits or per‑request billing. The change follows a history of scaling the DNS engine to handle 200 billion queries per month across 300 000 domains, built on a global network of 119 locations that also powers 1.5 million websites.
Alongside the pricing shift, Bunny DNS now enforces dual‑stack IPv6 support automatically, adds DNSSEC using NSEC Black Lies to protect zone privacy, and expands record types to include HTTPS, SVCB, TLSA, CDS, and CDNSKEY. New automation features such as automatic zone scanning and BIND file uploads simplify migration, while 1‑Click Acceleration spins up a Pull Zone and 1‑Click Security enables Bunny Shield for instant DDoS and exploit protection. The service remains part of a $1/month minimum spend plan.
These updates position Bunny DNS as a core, cost‑free component of the Bunny platform, allowing developers to build faster, safer, and more resilient applications without worrying about DNS‑related limits.
