Which DNS site to use for domains

  • pointhq.com works well for me..

  • I started to use namecheap.com's free dns service for a domain I registered at internet.bs registrar - works fine with 5 nameservers :)

  • I've been using Cloudns.net since everydns announced they're stopping their service. I haven't had any issues at all, great service if you need DNS for 3 or fewer domains.

    Do any of these DNS services? he.net etc.. allow you to point ns1/ns2.mydomain.com to their servers, etc?

  • Premium Cloudns.net they do it

    Your registrar may also offer free DNS.

    is cool. try it.

    i self host with maradns.

  • no one mentioned zerigo.com? I'm using it and it's good. 6 NS on different ASN (?)
    pointhq is good also.

  • Does anyone know what Hurricane Electric's free DNS monthly query limit is? I've always been skeptical of any DNS service that doesn't make their limit public knowledge. I've been suspended from way too many DNS services for hitting some unknown limit (which is why I pay for dnsmadeeasy.com right now).

    Haven't tried them yet, but I'm thinking of moving some domains to Dediserve:
    http://www.dediserve.com/dns/cloud-dns/

    50 zones for free, and TEMPLATES!!! (only downside is a 60min TTL, but that's not a big deal).

    Looks like http://freedns.afraid.org/ does the DNS branding (ie point ns1/ns1.mydomain.com to their servers) that I was asking about... anyone have experience with the afraid free DNS service?

  • afraid.org was ddosed too much when I used it around a year ago.

    OK I'm thinking about trying self-hosted DNS, but I want a web-interface... so I'm thinking two VPS'es each with ISPConfig but for DNS only.. one VPS as primary with ISPConfig web interface+DNS, and another VPS as secondary/mirror with ISPConfig/DNS only... I won't need much disk space on the VPS'es but how much RAM do you think is needed for ISPconfig web interface/DNS on one and ISPConfig/DNS only on the other? 512 enough for each?

  • Amazon Route 53 - http://aws.amazon.com/route53/

    $0.50 per hosted zone / month for the first 25 hosted zones
    $0.10 per hosted zone / month for additional hosted zones

    $0.500 per million queries – first 1 Billion queries / month
    $0.250 per million queries – over 1 Billion queries / month

    Sorry, I was only looking at all the replies from April 10th, and lately with everyone fussing over people reviving old threads....

  • @Go59954 said: Is it the case in BIND? Since if I'm right, you have to do a small change in config, not too sure, but I recall it didn't work out of the box when I tested round-robin with BIND I had to change some config and still it didn't function as it should, not sure why. Should it work out of the box in BIND as well?

    You need to add in following code in /etc/bind/named.conf.options to make the round-robin works in BIND.

    options {
            ...
            rrset-order {order cyclic;};
            ....
    };
