PointHQ: Why/How is this free?
They make profit by the "easily upgrade to a paid package starting from just £48 per year for 50 domains." ? Just looks like a lot of work and an awesome site for free :)
Nice find, thanks.
It's LET, you should expect unnecessary overreactions. "Gimme the sound, to see, Another world outside that’s full of All the broken things that I made"
@sandbox said: they provide it for free? or maybe for a lowend price range?
Yes, for free.
@tommy said: but you must have server with rackspace before can using their dns.
Not anymore, with the new control panel it's no longer necessary to have any server. I'm using it for some domains now and no cloud servers are running at this moment.

Should note that you still need to sign up with a valid CC# - But that should be no issue for most i guess :)
@dominicl FreeDNS providers that are any good, hmm, not that many, but here are a few ideas:
- if you really want 100% free then register for CloudFlare (cloudflare.com) and use their DNS without their other services. It's 100% free.
- ClouDNS - http://www.cloudns.net/ - They have a free option but their paid option is pretty inexpensive
- I wouldn't recommend Zerigo at all
- We use DNSMadeEasy - they offer Anycast, and their cheapest service is $30.00 - you can skip eating out once and get that, I highly recommend them.
