I'm using Bunny DNS and it's been mostly unremarkable (which is a very good thing for a DNS provider)!

The only annoyance is that their domain import auto-detects existing records, but it seems to miss a lot of them so you end up manually copying a lot of things over anyway.

In their defence, nobody can implement auto-detecting domains well, because there's no way to efficiently enumerate DNS records.

(Excluding NSEC-style enumeration, which is not always available.)

That's not their fault, though. There's no perfectly reliable way to enumerate the DNS records for a particular domain.

I'm a BunnyDNS user and wanted to share a warning - the import from a zone file can drop records silently, and the export will fail to export some of your records. I reported bugs some months ago, they replied they've fixed some but it's still a problem.

Spirit: ensure you keep a good copy of your zone files (bind format), their import / export has issues (it also doesn't include SOA or NS records). I spent time (before the recent fixes) manually validating records.
