If folks are looking for an alternative DNS host, there is Google Cloud DNS, which I have been using for a while via Google Domains and it's pretty awesome. Conceptually similar to Route53. Can use Google Cloud DNS without using other Google Cloud Platform services. https://cloud.google.com/dns/docs

It's pretty easy to setup too. [1] For my purposes cheaper than Route53.

I'm curious what you're doing that's substantially cheaper with Google Cloud DNS. The base pricing looks the same, except Google being $0.2/month and AWS $0.25/month per hosted zone. Also keep in mind that queries for "intra AWS"/ALIAS record queries are free on Route 53.
