Announcing Foundation DNS — Cloudflare’s new premium DNS offering

This post introduces Foundation DNS, a new premium DNS offering. It simplifies enterprise DNS pricing to a single input: total DNS queries per month, with unmetered DDoS mitigation. It highlights the importance of DNS and Cloudflare's authoritative DNS offering, emphasizing its global anycast network, DDoS mitigation experience, and commitment to DNSSEC. The post details how Foundation DNS nameservers (foundationdns.com and foundationdns.net) will offer enhanced resilience through diverse IP subnet allocation, making them more robust against route leaks than default nameservers. Additionally, it announces two new features for Foundation DNS and enterprise customers: support for outgoing zone transfers for Secondary DNS and Logpush for authoritative and secondary DNS queries.
