Last verified 2026-06-15. STALE marks a plan we have not re-checked at its source in over 30 days. Every plan above is marked — we flag rather than silently retain. cloud.google.com/dns/pricing returned truncated output on 2026-06-15; per-zone and per-query figures corroborated via a web search citing the official pricing page. HIPAA: an earlier version of this record claimed Cloud DNS is 'explicitly listed' as a HIPAA-covered product — this is NOT verifiable; Cloud DNS is not explicitly named in Google's public HIPAA covered-products list, so neither HIPAA nor a BAA is recorded (leaving it blank beats a guess).

This standing as a plaque
Google Cloud DNS currently holds a silver deskmark here — Rank 4 of 10 · DNS Hosting. Anyone may show it. There is nothing to apply for, nothing to pay, and displaying it changes no score: the standing comes from the published algorithm, which never reads commission data. We never ask anyone to show it, and its link carries rel="nofollow".
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if Google Cloud DNS moves up or down a tier, the plaque on your own site says so at our next publish. Nothing is tracked beyond the ordinary web-server log that records any image request.
