Public DNS requests: recursive requests for external names, over 1 million per month | ₽34.56 |
Resource category | Price per 1 million requests per month, including VAT |
---|---|
Public DNS requests: authoritative requests | ₸172.80 |

You will be billed for:
-
Authoritative requests: Any DNS requests to user public zones from the internet or Yandex Cloud.
-
Recursive requests: DNS requests for external domain names on the internet from Yandex Cloud VMs.
Tip
We recommend using caching resolvers, such as
systemd-resolved
,dnsmasq
, orunbound
. These reduce the number of external domain name requests, and thereby, your costs.
You do not pay for:
Starting December 6, 2021, you get the following free of charge:
-
The first million (1,000,000) recursive requests from VMs each month.
Once you have used up this free amount, you will be charged according to your service plan.
Any unused free service balance is reset at the end of each calendar month.
-
Requests for domain names of Yandex Cloud services (e.g.,
api.cloud.yandex.net
) and Yandex services (e.g.,mail.yandex.com
), both from VMs and the internet.
The cost of public DNS requests is based on usage.
For example, the cost of 50 thousand authoritative requests to your public DNS zone per month will be:
(50,000 / 1,000,000) × ₽34.56 = 0.05 × ₽34.56 = ₽1.728
Total: ₽1.728
Where:
- (50,000 / 1,000,000): Number of millions of executed queries.
- ₽34.56: Price 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) × ₽34.56 = 0.2 × ₽34.56 = ₽6.912
Total: ₽6.912
Where:
- (1.2 − 1.0): Number of millions of executed queries. You are not billed for the first million of recursive queries starting December 6, 2021.
- ₽34.56: Price per 1 million recursive queries per month.
(50,000 / 1,000,000) × ₸172.80 = 0.05 × ₸172.80 = ₸8.64
Total: ₸8.64
Where:
- (50,000 / 1,000,000): Number of millions of executed queries.
- ₸172.80: Price 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) × ₸172.80 = 0.2 × ₸172.80 = ₸34.56
Total: ₸34.56
Where:
- (1.2 − 1.0): Number of millions of executed queries. You are not billed for the first million of recursive queries starting December 6, 2021.
- ₸172.80: Price per 1 million recursive queries per month.
DNS zones
You are charged for public or private DNS zones you create.
Service zones are provided free of charge.
You are charged per second of usage, based on consumption.
For example, the cost of managing two DNS zones for 360 hours will be the same as the cost of managing one DNS zone for 720 hours.
