Thanks
Comments
PointHQ!
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
Thanks - I was thinking of using them actually.
ClouDNS.net is great.
Gone with PointHQ
Like the interface.
Cloudflare!
dns.he.net
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
@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.
Yes, we will be available for public registration within few next days.
Cool, well keep us updated!
@EricCubixCloud they offer 5 domains free and thats enough for most of us!!
@gbshouse free dns service?
I recommend dns.he.net
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.
@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?
but you must have server with rackspace before can using their dns.
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.
awsome thanks for info.
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:
Best of luck!
Cloudflare - can't beat 20+ POPs anycast plus turn on/off other features at your leisure
@bdtech I agree on Cloudflare, they have awesome services and their customer service is top notch!
