Pricing for Cloud DNS
Public DNS queries
Resource category | Price per 1 million requests per month, including VAT |
---|---|
Public DNS requests: authoritative requests | ₽32.00 |
Public DNS requests: recursive requests for external names | ₽32.00 |
You will be billed for:
-
Authoritative queries: Any requests for DNS records in a user's public zones from the internet or Yandex Cloud.
-
Recursive queries: Queries from a Yandex Cloud VM for external domain names on the internet.
Tip
We recommend using caching resolvers, such as
systemd-resolved
,dnsmasq
, orunbound
. They can help you reduce the number of queries for external domain names, reducing costs.
You will not be billed for:
Starting December 6, 2021, the following is provided free of charge:
-
The first one million (1,000,000) recursive queries from VMs each month.
Once you have used up this free amount, you will be charged at the published rate.
The unused balance of free services is reset at the end of the month.
-
Queries for domain names of Yandex Cloud services (such as
api.cloud.yandex.net
)and those offered by Yandex (such asmail.yandex.com
), both from VMs and the internet.
The cost of public DNS queries is based on usage.
For example, the cost of 50 thousand authoritative queries to your public DNS zone per month will be:
(50,000 / 1,000,000) × ₽32 = 0.05 × ₽32 = ₽1.60
Total: ₽1.60
Where:
- (50,000 / 1,000,000) is the number of millions of executed queries.
- ₽32 is the cost per 1 million queries per month.
For example, the cost of 1.2 million recursive queries for external names executed from December 6 to December 31, from your VMs per month will be:
(1.2 − 1.0) × ₽32 = 0.2 × ₽32 = ₽6.4000
Total: ₽6.4000
Where:
- (1.2 − 1.0) is the number of millions of executed queries. You are not billed for the first million of recursive queries starting December 6, 2021.
- ₽32 is the cost per 1 million of recursive queries per month.
DNS zones
You are charged for user-created public or internal DNS zones.
Service zones are provided free of charge.
Billing occurs per second. The cost is calculated in proportion to usage.
For example, the cost of owning 2 DNS zones for 360 hours will be the same as the cost of owning 1 DNS zone for 720 hours.
Resource category | Cost per month, including VAT |
---|---|
DNS zone | ₽36.00 * |
* For reference only. Assuming a 720-hour (30-day) month. The value is rounded. The cost per hour is used in Yandex Cloud Billing calculations.
Resource category | Cost per hour, including VAT |

DNS zone | ₽0.05 |
