Need a Name Server
« on: September 22, 2011, 04:20:11 AM »
Hi all,

I need a new DNS/Name Server now that EditDNS has closed down. Is there any good free ones out there?

I have a handful of domains that can't be looked after by the domain name provider, looking for a cheap option.

I could be wrong, but it says it only offers you 2 and then you have to buy credits. I'm doing favours for others, so would prefer not to be forking out for them... Maybe they'll have to pay if there is nothing else.

You could register each domain for one of the people you are favoring, using a different gmail address for each registration that you then forward to your main network administration mailbox...

Here is a (brief) list of DNS service providers, some free:
