    Hi,

    You can take a look at LowEndWiki here: http://www.lowendtalk.com/wiki/free-dns-providers

    Or you can use search function on the top left of your screen, this has been discussed many times here already :D

    I also like the interface of PointHQ. Easy to use.
    If you're in Asia, Zerigo is good also. They have server in Singapore (f.ns.zerigo.net)

    also our DNSbed.com if you know some chinese :p

    @gbshouse Weren't you guys working on a DNS service?

    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.

  • flyfly Member

    i highly recommend hosting your own nsd's.

    This guy made some comparisons among free DNS hosting providers. It is a little bit old, but the information is still valid and he compares a lot of providers. http://www.hostcult.com/2011/06/free-hosted-dns-review-yay-i-think.html

    +1 fly, one day I'll be bothered to do that but it's better than using other DNS services imo.

  • gbshousegbshouse Member, Host Rep

    @Asim - 2EUR/month per domain, 1000k requests included, additional 1000k requests 1EUR, failover and geodns free of charge

    Rackspace offers free DNS. They have a new control panel now and you can manage the DNS zones from there.

    they provide it for free? or maybe for a lowend price range?

  • tommytommy Member

    but you must have server with rackspace before can using their dns.

  • carlosgcarlosg Member

    @sandbox said: they provide it for free? or maybe for a lowend price range?

    Yes, for free.

    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.

  • tommytommy Member

    awsome thanks for info.

  • DNSbedDNSbed Member

    Namecheap has free DNS hosting.
    If you have vps with linode, I heard their DNS is also good.

    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.

    Best of luck!

    Cloudflare - can't beat 20+ POPs anycast plus turn on/off other features at your leisure

  • PhoenixVPSPhoenixVPS Member

    @bdtech I agree on Cloudflare, they have awesome services and their customer service is top notch!
