Heroku’s big outage recently was due to DNS, which was outside of their control (it was an outage with https://ns1.com/). What are you going to do when your DNS goes down? Probably nothing better than Heroku.

I know Cloudflare is a good one, but also I would recommend checking out NS1 – they’re great.

NS1 is exceptionally nice. Depends on what “affordable” means to the director though. Wouldn’t hurt to ask them for a quote, they just might give a discount for edu.

Ns1.com – as of yet they dont do training, but they have a cloud offering and can manage it for customers.

NS1 comes up a lot when talking about this, including elsewhere in this thread. I’ve never used them but they do seem to check all the boxes. I’ve seen mention of a few major outages from them over the years, but nothing recent.

So far as I know, as long as the request volume isn’t high they don’t care, or at least seem not to even when their web proxying involved. They don’t publish their trigger points for DNS so if the language disturbs you then indeed you should look elsewhere, like ClouDNS, DNS Made Easy or NS1, or as you mentioned AWS Route53 or Neustar UltraDNS.
