Alibaba Cloud DNS (DNS)

Alibaba Cloud DNS handles the standard job of mapping domain names to IP addresses, letting you configure records and manage zones through their console. It operates on a pay-as-you-go basis, meaning costs scale directly with the volume of queries and records you maintain rather than a fixed monthly subscription.

This setup suits teams already operating within the Alibaba Cloud ecosystem who need integrated name resolution without upfront commitments. The main friction point is the complete absence of a free tier, so even minimal testing or low-traffic personal projects incur immediate costs, unlike competitors that offer basic DNS services at no charge.
