Ask HN: Any DNS providers with anti-DDoS protection not using Cloudflare?

5 points

During the recent partial outage of Cloudflare's network[1] multiple other DNS providers stopped working, because they were all using Cloudflare's DNS Firewall[2].

The affected services included:

– DigitalOcean DNS

– Linode DNS

– DNSimple DNS

It would be good to know any DNS providers with anti-DDoS protection that won't go down with Cloudflare's network.
