Sorry if I cannot answer your question, but I wonder why anyone would need such a "vanity nameserver"?
I googled that (http://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/domain-names/dns-nameserver-changes/vanity-nameservers-what-are-they-and-how-do-i-set-them-up) but still. Now instead of ns1.ovh.net your nameserver is ns1.greatwebsite.net. This cannot hide the fact that your DNS is hosted on OVH servers, can it?
https://rage4.com
rage4 isnt free
it give more exclusive feeling
Their free tier is up to 250 000 requests per domain per month actually.
try https://www.cloudns.net/ is really good, and cheap
Go with Rage4!
Bumping this old thread.. Now that rage4 free tier will no longer be available after September, is there a good free auth dns alternative that also supports vanity nameservers these days?
Looks like DO supports vanity name servers with their DNS Manager, however, I don't have any active VM's with them..

I'm in the same boat: Looking for vanity nameserver after rage4 trimmed the free plan.
DO would be ideal but I also no longer have active VM.
Closest thing I found is Amazon Route 53, it's $0.5/m if the query counts is below 1 million I think.
with DigitalOcean you don't need to have an active server, you just need to have an account.
can point to any ip?
@Ryan22 yep, pretty much every ip address, even 127.0.0.1

Take a look at https://app.dnsmanager.cc/
If you want to use our whitelabel dns servers you can send a email to [email protected]
Actually im paying for https://zonomi.com/ ... But they have free DNS too
You'd think they would have measures against this... or perhaps may crack down in the future.. but if they allow it I may give it a shot..
Neato, just migrated my domain name from Rage4 to DO. It's technically a downgrade, though. DO DNS offers limited record type, no DNSSec
and their NS-es seem to be not geographically distributed at all.(but hey it's free)I checked out dnsmanager and zonomi, their free tier sounds like a free trial to me, but zonomi does advertise vanity dns even for its free services.
Let's cross our finger at the very least we can rest assured their uptime is good and probability of deadpooling/discontinuing the services is very small.
@WhizzWr DO dns is under cloudflare so.. should have to be geolocated in all cloudflare's pops
FWIW

Yep, confirmed by (limited) testing. Traceroute from US and Europe ended up in Cloudflare's nearest location.
BTW, Digital Ocean has an article in their tutorials where they outline setting up vanity nameservers to use DO's nameservers:
