DNS
DigitalOcean’s DNS service consolidates domain management across Droplets, their load balancers, and external resources into a single dashboard. It handles the routine tasks of pointing records to your infrastructure, simplifying the administrative overhead of maintaining consistent name resolution across hybrid environments.
This setup suits teams already operating within the DigitalOcean ecosystem who want centralized control without juggling multiple providers. The main friction is the lack of a free tier; you pay strictly on a usage basis, which means even minimal testing or low-traffic projects incur costs immediately.
