I really do want to self host DNS, but I am afraid it will cause problems. Aren't DNS servers easily used in DoS attacks against other servers?

- shreyasonline 3y agoIf you are looking for self hosting local resolver then just make sure its not accessible from public Internet. If you wish to host your own authoritative DNS server for your domain names then just configuring query rate limiting will mitigate DoS or DNS amplification attacks. I have been self hosting all my domain names since 2+ years now and its not much of an issue.
