Public DNS requestsPublic DNS requests

Prices in RUB
Prices in KZT
Resource category Price per 1 million requests per month, including VAT
Public DNS requests: authoritative requests ₽34.56
Public DNS requests: recursive requests for external names, 1 million or less per month Free
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
Public DNS requests: recursive requests for external names, 1 million or less per month Free
Public DNS requests: recursive requests for external names, over 1 million per month ₸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, or unbound. These reduce the number of external domain name requests, and thereby, your costs.

You do not pay for:

  • Requests from VMs to private and service zones.

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:

Calculating cost in RUB
Calculating cost in KZT

(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 zonesDNS 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.
