Comment (by ln5):

 The list in
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/29394#comment:6 is good.
 Just add "free of cost" too.

 For background:

 From the Brussels notes, linked in description:
 Right now, we do our own authoritative DNS. We would like to move away
 from that. We added dnsnode in-zone. We should add at least a second
 provider, and then retire our hosts. Then, we should update the
 delegation(s) in the parent(s).

 dnsnode provides anycasted authoritative DNS, from many locations. Besides
 making it hard to kick our names off the internet by dosing our silly
 servers, users need to traverse a lesser part of the internet in order to
 reach DNS data for us.

 We want another one like dnsnode before we shut down our own servers.
