Been using BuddyNS for over ten years…

Been using BuddyNS for over ten years now. The majority of that time for free, now I pay for an account just to support them and out of respect. Great and very useful service, they let you do things the big guys charge you an arm and a leg for. I learned quite a bit about DNS over the years thanks to BuddyNS. Top notch company and service.

Reliable, responsive and easy to use

As the owner of a small domain, I greatly value the secondary NS service buddyns provides; it's easy, quick and reliable - the one time I've had an issue, they were responsive, quick and professional in getting things working.

Easy to use, 100% reliable, but support is still highly competent

It just works, the webpage is simple, but describes the features very well. Information about pricing, list of features and the documentation is clearly visible without logging in or registering. No BS (like contact us or request a quote).

But when you need them and contact them, they answer within hours on a Sunday night, even to the most technical questions. Talked to support 3-4 times over the 5 years I've been using them, and it was always a great experience.

They have service locations everywhere you need, and I found one with less than 10ms ping from my country (and users).

The best unique feature they have is the delegation lab, where you are instantly notified of issues and you can also request instant zone transfers. They even send automated emails if your domains start failing, which means that I didn't just get a secondary service, but I actually got included free monitoring too automatically for my DNS infrastructure.

It just works

I love your service..it’s worked flawlessly for the 3+ years I’ve been using it. Very simple UI to work with, does just want I wanted and needed without any extra flannel.

Long term user

Long term user. Initially I was on their pro plan and changed to their astronaut plan. I made an error and was nervous to be reaching out to support. I thought they would beat me with tech but they were absolutely kind and very responsive.

In terms of availability we monitor this pretty closely and in the 5+ years we've been using them, their nameservers have not missed a ping.
