Affected product
Alibaba Cloud DNS Public Zone
Effective period
Effective on July 25, 2025 (UTC+8).
Announcement
To improve product service stability, Alibaba Cloud DNS plans to upgrade the console on the international site on July 25, 2025 (UTC+8). This upgrade will not affect your service usage or DNS resolution. After the upgrade, domain names not registered with Alibaba Cloud must be attached to a paid Public Zone. DNS resolution for non-Alibaba Cloud domain names without attached instances will continue to function normally, but their DNS records cannot be modified.
The free edition of Public Zone does not provide resolution nodes outside the Chinese mainland or include an availability Service Level Agreement (SLA). For greater reliability, we recommend using paid instances. The paid edition uses a global network of hundreds of nodes across 27 regional clusters to provide accelerated resolution and higher service stability.
