Google Cloud DNS or Google Public DNS

Why would you want to use "Google Cloud DNS" when "Google Public DNS" is free?

How to configure the DNS / nameserver to point to the compute engine:
1. Install a domain registrar (GoDaddy.com in my case) or "nameserver" to point to the DSN server provider you are using.
2. Log into your DNS server provider (any suggestions?) And set a static IP to map to your domain name.

Is the above the correct DNS setup process for the web server?

Google Cloud DNS provides you with authoritative name servers that you can configure with DNS records. Google Public DNS is just a name resolver that looks up data from an authoritative name server. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_server for more information on authoritative name servers and caching resolvers.



And yes, this process should work. Google Cloud DNS is one example of what you are looking for.

To set up Google DNS using Google Compute Engine, this is what you would do:

Create a managed zone

gcloud dns managed-zone create --dns_name = "example.com." --description = "Something descriptive" "myzonename"

Get your nameservers and update them from your domain registrar

gcloud dns records --zone = "myzonename" list



Create your notes and edit them

gcloud dns records --zone = "myzonename" edit

In the Add-ons section, add A records that point to your Compute Engine computer's IP address

{"additions": [{"kind": "dns # resourceRecordSet", "name": "example.com." , "rrdatas": ["192.168.2.20"], "ttl": 86400, "enter"}, {"kind": "dns # resourceRecordSet", "name": "www.example.com.", "rrdatas ": [" 192.168.2.20 "]," ttl ": 86400," enter "}]," delete ": [{" kind ":" dns # resourceRecordSet "," name ":" example.com. " ,"rrdatas": ["ns-cloud1.googledomains.com. dns-admin.google.com. 2 21600 3600 1209600 300"], "ttl": 21600, "type": "SOA"}]}

Save and exit. You have to be good to go now.
