DNS
DigitalOcean DNS is a networking service designed to manage domain name resolution for various resources. It allows users to centralize the management of DNS records for Droplets, DigitalOcean Load Balancers, and external non-DigitalOcean resources within a single interface. This simplifies the process of directing traffic to your infrastructure without needing separate tools for different hosting environments.
You should choose this service if you need a unified dashboard to handle DNS for mixed infrastructure. However, be aware that there is no free tier available for this service. The pricing model operates on a pay-as-you-go basis, meaning you will incur costs based on usage rather than benefiting from a complimentary entry-level option.
