Free Name Server Providers

[FN-GM]

Hi,

 

The DNS i get provided with my domain isnt much good to be honest.

 

I am wondering if anyone knows of an organisation that can provide a free NameServer service?

 

Thanks

I dont want to buy the domain i have one already.

 

The DNS management in reg-123 isnt much cop.

[jamesreedersmith]

I use the DNS Management of 123 reg for about 200 domains and its flawless. what problems have you had?

Its to basic

 

Also you can leave a blank A record point to a IP. So your forces with:

 

http://www.example.com

Just a fyi you can do that with 123-reg's dns as I have done it in the past. We (edugeek) are trailing easydns currently but its pay.

Free DNS, Static DNS, Dynamic DNS, URL Redirection, and more from EveryDNS!.

 

I've used them for about 4 years, and they've been flawless. Free, but if you want unlimited domains etc... you can donate. I donate regularly anyway, as its a good service.

Would zoneedit.com be of any use?

Another vote for zoneedit

We use dnsexit.com, one of the only ones I could find who could handle a sch.uk domain.

Just enter an "@" and specify the ip in the A record. The @ is the root A record.
