NS1 experience from DynDNS
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use interface. Logically laid out and solid API interface with through documentation
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing is a little on the higher side especially if you're unable to leverage all of the features
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing externally facing DNS and offloading vanity domain redirections outside of our datacenter
Easy to use and fits both small and large businesses
What do you like best about the product?
We were initially worried about using NS1 as we expected the price to be too much for a business that is not yet focusing attention on its DNS. NS1 was able to come around and provide an agreement that was perfect for our light usage.
What do you dislike about the product?
We find nothing we dislike since the product is so solid. I would like to see SSO on the lower-tier plans, but it is not the world's end. We used to have issues with the login experience and frequent logouts, but things have significantly improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
NS1 is helping us solve a simple problem. We have multiple domains, yet only one leading brand site having the ability to forward all domains to a single domain is such a simple yet awesome thing. We also enjoy seeing the geographic zones of users visiting our sites.
NS1 - fantastic service - super easy to automate.
What do you like best about the product?
I use a mix of Azure resources and home network resources - where my IP address changes every month or two. NS1 takes care my needs perfectly in both use cases. They have easy to use automation so I can keep my system up to date when my home IP address changes. Manual changes are also easy to do - their web UI makes it easy to add/update/delete all of the various record types as needed. I absolutely love not having to use the DNS services that my domain provider makes available - makes changing domain providers super easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't found a single issue that fits my dislike list. Even when I have had issues, customer service was right there to help iron things out. Makes choosing a DNS service provider an easy one.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Domain and DNS service separation as I mentioned above - makes it very easy to use different domain name services while still getting great DNS services - this makes it easy for me to choose the lowest price for domain name purchasing and not compromising DSN services.
Best hosting, best support
What do you like best about the product?
I have been hosting since 1997 and NS1 the best I have come across. 24/7 support, reliable servers, fair pricing. What more can you ask for?
What do you dislike about the product?
New Cpanel pricing. This is not to be blamed on NS1.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fast support 24/7 in plain English.
Best DNS Ever
What do you like best about the product?
No down, realtime dns managment , easy to use
What do you dislike about the product?
nothing Maybe the price for pulsar solution
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
load balancing
Performant DNS, not just for large companies
What do you like best about the product?
Support for all types of DNS records and setups, including ALIAS records. Very responsive customer support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Somewhat stingy free tier. I know they have to make money, but I would have liked to see 1M queries/mo in the developer plan, rather than just 500k. That's only one query every 3 seconds on average.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
NS1 has slightly sped up my website's initial load times, due to the fast DNS query and the ALIAS record support. Also, their DNS is published more quickly than my registrar's DNS.
