FreeDNS
Free and paid DNS, Dynamic DNS, Static DNS, subdomain and domain hosting
FreeDNS is a DNS hosting service that provides free and paid domain and subdomain hosting, dynamic DNS, static DNS, URL redirection (web forwarding), backup DNS, and forward/reverse IPv6 DNS hosting. It addresses the need to point a domain or subdomain at a changing IP address, allowing users to reach a home, work, school, datacenter, or cloud machine by name rather than a numeric IP.
Members manage domains, subdomains, web forwards, dynamic DNS, IPv6 reverse, and backup DNS from a member menu. Dynamic updates run through an automated update interface, with curl commands sent to a sync URL and a separate v6 endpoint for IPv6 updates. The service also offers wildcard DNS, stealth flags, professional nameserver branding, and a shared domain registry of domains that members can attach to.
FreeDNS is aimed at individuals and organizations that need DNS hosting, from hobbyists and home network users to developers and businesses. It offers a free membership level alongside paid membership tiers that vary by subdomain cap, stealth flags, propagation TTLs, captcha removal, wildcard support, and nameserver branding, with yearly and monthly options.
