About
ClouDNS is a managed DNS hosting service that provides free and paid DNS zones through a web control panel. The free plan includes 4 unicast DNS servers, 1 DNS zone, 50 DNS records, 500K DNS queries per month, 1 mail forward, and 1 Dynamic DNS hostname.
The paid plans expand the same DNS platform with Anycast DNS, higher zone and record limits, DNS Failover, DNSSEC, free SSL, and additional mail forwards. The service also includes 24/7 live chat support and free zone migration for standard zone files.

Free Tier Value
This free tier is perpetual and a credit card is not required, but it is clearly capped: one zone, limited records, 500K queries, and a single mail forward. Compared with the $2.95/month starter plan, it delivers a useful slice of the service at roughly half the entry plan’s practical capacity, so about $1.50/month is a fair buyer-side estimate.
What's included in the free tier
