DNS hosting

25 services

Managed DNS free plans are limited by the number of zones, the number of records per zone, and sometimes monthly queries. Cloudflare and namecheap.com host unlimited domains. ClouDNS allows 1 domain with 50 records and Zonomi 1 zone with 10 records, while luadns.com and Glauca allow 3 domains and zilore.com 5. deSEC, run by a nonprofit on open software, and Glauca both support DNSSEC, and deSEC, Hetzner and 1984.is offer APIs for automating records and ACME DNS challenges.

Dynamic DNS keeps a hostname pointed at a changing home IP address. Duck DNS gives 5 subdomains, noip 3 hostnames that must be confirmed every 30 days, and noip.at works without an account. Dynv6.com supports full record types including MX and TXT. The list also covers resolvers rather than hosts: 1.1.1.1 is a public encrypted resolver, NextDNS filters ads and trackers for 300,000 queries a month, and sslip.io resolves hostnames that contain an IP address back to that IP.
