- Included free on every account
- Redundant nameservers across two regions
- Managed from one portal with everything else
- Your domains, kept in Canada
- No extra vendor, no extra bill

## Why teams choose DNS as a Service

Included free on every account — unlimited zones, unlimited records, unlimited queries.

### Free, with no asterisks

Unlimited zones, records, and queries. Route 53 charges per zone and per million queries. We charge nothing for DNS.

### Full record-type support

A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV, NS, SOA, and CAA — everything a production domain needs.

### One portal, one bill

Manage every domain alongside the rest of your platform. No second vendor, no second invoice.

### Sovereign and independent

Authoritative nameservers ZSoftly runs in Canada — not resold on top of a hyperscaler.
