Privacy-first managed DNS with EU-only nameservers in Frankfurt, Nürnberg, Vienna, and Helsinki — no query logging, renewable energy, DNSSEC, and GeoDNS.
Nanelo DNS is a German managed DNS service operating exclusively on European nameservers — Frankfurt, Nürnberg, Vienna, and Helsinki — all powered by renewable energy. Built as a privacy-first alternative to Cloudflare DNS and Amazon Route 53, Nanelo keeps every query inside the EU with no query logging.

- Four EU locations — Frankfurt, Nürnberg, Vienna, Helsinki on renewable energy
- GeoDNS — geographic traffic routing for latency optimisation
- Round-robin and failover — intelligent traffic distribution
- DNSSEC support — signed zones with chain-of-trust validation
- HTTPS redirects with free SSL certificates
- Full record type support — A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, ALIAS, TXT, SRV, CAA, PTR, NS
- Team collaboration — SSO, audit logs, granular permissions
- DDoS protection on every nameserver
- 7-day free trial — no credit card required
Pricing: Starter €4.99/mo (5 domains), Growth €9.99/mo, Professional €15.99/mo (25 domains), with custom Enterprise pricing and agency plans. A clean EU alternative to Cloudflare DNS, Route 53, and Google DNS for privacy-conscious teams.
