enum DNS.

Authoritative DNS on European infrastructure. Free forever.

In short

enum DNS is authoritative DNS on European infrastructure: create zones, manage records, import and export BIND zone files, and enable DNSSEC. It is free forever, managed through the API and enumctl, and currently available to early access users.

Why enum DNS?

Host your zones next to your clusters, without a separate DNS bill.

Zones and records

Create zones, point your registrar at the nameservers enum assigns your project, and manage A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, and more.

BIND import and export

Move an existing zone in with a zone file, or export one out when you cut over from another provider.

DNSSEC

Enable signing on an active zone and get the DS records to publish at your registrar.

Free forever

No query pricing and no per-zone fee. Free forever, for a better European internet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is enum DNS free?
Yes. Free forever. No query pricing, no per-zone fee. For a better European internet.
Who can use it today?
enum DNS is currently limited to early access users. If you are already on the platform, you can use it now. Otherwise join the waitlist and we will open access as we expand.
Where does enum DNS resolve from today?
enum DNS runs on our European infrastructure today. When we launch our Anycast network, we will roll it out to all edge nodes so queries resolve from the PoP closest to the resolver.
How do I point my domain at enum?
Create a zone with enumctl or the API. enum assigns nameservers to your project (named after European scientists, for example curie.ns.enum.co and planck.ns.enum.co). Set those at your registrar.
Does enum DNS support DNSSEC?
Yes. Enable DNSSEC on an active zone and publish the DS records enum returns at your registrar.
Can I import an existing zone?
Yes. Import and export BIND zone files through enumctl or the API.
Can I issue certificates for zones on enum?
Yes. Issue TLS certificates, including wildcards, for domains you host on enum via DNS-01 validation.
