# Pricing

Free for everyone. Fast anycast DNS with up to 50 zones and unlimited records — no card
required. Pay only for optional add-ons like managed domains and zone backups.

## The core product is free. Full stop.

Point your nameservers at Edge and manage all your domains from one place — on the same
global anycast network our paying customers use, with DNSSEC, geo-routing, and instant
propagation included.

Each zone includes a million queries a month, and the limit is soft: we warn, we never
block resolution. Your domains stay up.

## Pricing FAQ

Everything you need to know about how DNS billing works.

### Is DNS really free?

Yes — free for everyone with a verified email, no card required. Up to 50 zones with unlimited records on a global anycast network. It's the same infrastructure paying customers use, not a limited tier.

### What happens if a zone exceeds 1M queries in a month?

The limit is soft: we'll warn you, but we never block resolution or drop your queries. If you're consistently over, we'll talk about a volume arrangement — your domains stay up regardless.

### How are add-ons billed?

Managed domains and zone backups are billed hourly from the same prepaid balance as Edge compute — a $1/month add-on costs about $0.0014 per hour while active, and you can drop it at any time.

### Do I need to transfer my domain to Edge?

No. Keep your registrar and simply point your nameservers at Edge. If you want a domain without a registrar at all, test.network and ed.ge subdomains are available as managed add-ons.

### What about very high query volumes?

Enterprise volume pay-as-you-go covers DNS at scale with volume query pricing, a 99.99% SLA, and an account manager. Talk to us if you're serving hundreds of millions of queries.
