Need a managed DNS provider for certain uses with unmetered queries, strong DDoS resistance, low latency, GeoDNS and active health checks for servers in DNS round robin.
cloudflare.com/load-balancing is probably best other than being metered.
Would pay $25-50/month but not unbounded.

Unlimited, unmetered bandwidth is a major main reason we use OVH VPS, dedicated servers and Public Cloud for most things. Unfortunately, they don't have a serious DNS offering. If they had a nice DNS service as part of Public Cloud, we wouldn't need to consider anything else.

dnsimple.com/dns-hosting is unmetered but they don't have a lot of locations so latency isn't great (dnsperf.com) and I doubt they offer the kind of managed health checks we want for round-robin DNS or they'd be advertising it prominently like Cloudflare and others.

I know what kind of DDoS resistance I'm getting from Cloudflare, Google or OVH but I have no clue how well anything else is going to hold up.
Why doesn't Cloudflare have a monthly plan for DNS load balancing with unlimited queries? We can't use metered services due to attacks.

I don't necessarily mean DDoS attacks but simply malicious people creating huge costs. I think it's unlikely that kind of thing would be detected as an attack especially if we're only using DNS load balancing without Cloudflare as a reverse proxy. It'd mostly just be UDP DNS.
