Secondary DNS-as-a-Service (alien.top)

Hello Selfhosted community!

I know not many folks actually host their own DNS, but for those that do: do you use any hosted secondary DNS servers? Meaning delegating slave servers.

What features would you be looking at in such a service?

Reason asking: I am looking to build a free service that would allow users to register their zone , choose geographic location and our servers will do the secondary part for it. Though limited on a free tier - say 1-3 zones (domains).

It will include a management panel.

Edit: Currently the Name Servers do support DNS over TLS/QUIC/HTTPS.

I use Technitium the ideal set up, is put one in one region in one data centre and then another in another region in another data centre. This way the whole Internet would have to break before your website. Breaks this plus a strategy of good time to live policies Infrastructure should stay up forever.
