Google DNS hosting service

[Alexander Konovalenko]

Wouldn't it be nice to host your DNS zones on Google servers?

Currently you basically have three options:

1) Use whatever DNS servers your domain registrar or a hosting provider
offer.
2) Get a specialized DNS hosting service (such as DNS Made Easy or
DynDNS).
3) Run your own DNS servers.

Personally I prefer to use a specialized DNS hosting because dealing
with performance and reliability issues and DDoS attacks can be a pain,
and I wouldn't trust my registrar or a random hosting provider to do
that either.

Now, if Google provided its own DNS hosting, it would become trivial to
use naked domains with App Engine. We'd just say "point this naked
domain to that App Engine app" and the DNS service would automatically
figure out when to change the IP addresses.

I filed a feature request detailing what makes a good DNS hosting service:

If you have something to add, please comment there.

I starred your feature request. But since naked domains are on the roadmap and since the only way to make them work for GAE is for Google to host the DNS server, then I'm guessing they're already working on it.

IMO currently the best option if you have special requirements: Amazon route53

Amazon route53 is definitely great for those with special needs.
However, I find it hard to believe that very many have such special
needs.
