DNS Server - BIND DNS with Webmin on Ubuntu 22.04
BIND9 is a flexible and full-featured DNS software widely used on Unix/Linux due to its stability and high quality performance.
The perfect solution for providing DNS resolution to your servers in AWS and clients on prem or in the cloud. This Ubuntu server also comes with Webmin GUI allowing you to manage your server via the servers web portal, making it easier to manage DNS via a GUI. You can also manage DNS via the SSH terminal.
BIND can act as an authoritative DNS server for a zone and a DNS resolver at the same time. A DNS resolver can also be called a recursive name server because it performs recursive lookups for local clients
DNS Server Features:
- DNS Dynamic updates
- Create master zones, slave zone, stub zone, forward zones, delegation zone, zones from a batch file
- Create forwarders and transfers
- Create a cluster of DNS Servers

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the software running on your chosen EC2 instance type. Pricing is usage-based, so charges accrue for each hour an instance runs, with no upfront commitment. The many dimensions listed are not feature tiers. Each one maps to a specific EC2 instance size, from small general-purpose types like t3 and m5 to memory-heavy r5, compute-focused c5, and metal instances. Your hourly cost scales with the instance you select. Larger instances with more CPU and memory carry higher hourly rates. The BIND9 DNS software and Webmin management are the same across all instances.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
One hour covers the software running on a single EC2 instance of that type. Charges accrue for each clock hour the instance runs. Partial hours are metered as the instance runs. Each instance you launch is billed separately, so running two instances doubles the hourly software charge.
The software fee meters running time only. A fully stopped instance does not accrue the hourly software charge. Underlying AWS storage fees for the attached disk may still apply while the instance is stopped. Charges resume when you start the instance again.
No separate charge applies. The BIND9 DNS server and the pre-installed Webmin management portal are included in the hourly rate for every instance type. You access Webmin through the server IP on port 10000 and manage DNS zones through the web interface or SSH.
